The draw for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup has taken place, with Manchester City drawn at home to Liverpool in a blockbuster all-Premier League tie.
Quadruple contenders and 14-time winners Arsenal have yet to face a top-flight side in the competition and have been given a favourable draw away to Southampton, the only Championship side left.
Meanwhile giant-killers Port Vale – the lowest-ranked side left in the competition – have earned an away day to Stamford Bridge.
Vale are bottom of League One and last made the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in 1954, but after shocking top-flight Sunderland they will be dreaming of another cupset.
It will be the first time Port Vale have played Chelsea in nearly 100 years, with their last competitive fixture coming in 1929.
Liam Rosenior’s side escaped their own scare against Wrexham, twice coming from behind and needing extra time to see off 10 men at Stok Cae Ras.
The final last-eight encounter will see the winners of Brentford or West Ham – who face off at London Stadium on Monday evening – at home against fellow Premier League side Leeds United, who enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Norwich.
The quarter-final ties will be played over the weekend of 4 April.
Over the weekend the Gunners escaped a scare against Mansfield to keep their quadruple hopes alive, while City eased past Newcastle 3-1 to do the same and Liverpool avenged their loss to Wolves last week.
Saints saw off top-flight Fulham, who made nine changes, with a stoppage-time penalty from Ross Stewart.
