The draw for the quarterfinal stage of the FA Cup was conducted Monday immediately following Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the final contest of the fifth round.

Here are the four fixtures on the docket:

  • Swansea City vs. Manchester City
  • Watford vs. Crystal Palace
  • Wolverhampton vs. Manchester United
  • Millwall vs. Brighton and Hove Albion

The matches will take place from March 15-17.

The standout tie sees the rejuvenated Red Devils make the tricky visit to Molineux, where Wolves await. Meanwhile, Manchester City will be expected to make short work of Championship side Swansea.

The other two fixtures ensure that the semifinal stage of the storied competition will not simply be dominated by perennial powers.

None of Watford, Crystal Palace, Brighton, or second-tier Millwall have ever won the tournament. They've combined for five appearances in the final, with the most recent coming when the Eagles fell 2-1 to United in 2016.
