FA Cup Quarter-Finals Draw: Manchester United Could Face Chelsea

The Mirror):

€œIt€™s a great tie. Oldham have been magnificent and it€™s a game that is still open so we will follow that one with interest. Every game is a priority for us. €œWhat is important at a football club is if you are capable of facing two competitions at once. A few years ago we didn€™t have the pool of players, but now we do and the group has an understanding of what we are doing.€
After a 4-0 victory over Championship side Leeds United, Manchester City will now face Barnsley in the quarter-finals. City boss Mancini gave his thoughts after the draw:
€œEvery team plays in the FA Cup like it is in a Champions League final. The cup is an important trophy in England. €œTeams may change players in the Capital One Cup but in the FA Cup every team plays seriously. You could play in a final at Wembley in front of more than 80,000 people so that has to be good.€
Millwall are also set to host Blackburn Rovers, after the Rovers knocked out Arsenal in the fifth-round with a 1-0 away win.
