FA Cup quarter-final draw throws up a potentially huge tie for Lincoln

One game from Wembley.

Giant-killers Lincoln City have been rewarded for their shock win at Burnley with a trip to either Sutton United or Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The National League side stunned their Premier League opponents thanks to Sean Raggett’s late headed goal, making them the first non-league club to reach this stage of the competition in more than a century.

Fellow non-leaguers Sutton United, who host Arsenal on Monday night, could guarantee a non-league club in the semi-finals if they can cause an upset.

Millwall, who eliminated Premier League champions Leicester City with a late 1-0 win of their own, will travel to Tottenham for a London derby, while holders Manchester United will travel to Chelsea, meaning José Mourinho will have to get past his former club to make it to Wembley.

United needed to come from behind to beat Championship side Blackburn Rovers, with substitute Zlatan Ibrahimović slotting home the winner 15 minutes from time.

The final game of the quarter-finals will see Middlesbrough host either Manchester City or Huddersfield Town, who are due to replay their fifth-round game after a goalless draw.

The quarter-finals will take place on the weekend of March 11.

FA Cup Quarter-Final Draw:

Chelsea v Manchester United

Middlesbrough v Manchester City or Huddersfield Town

Tottenham Hotspur v Millwall

Sutton United or Arsenal v Lincoln City.
