Arsenal avoid Chelsea and United in FA Cup draw

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United avoided each other in the draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Chelsea, who won the FA Cup when Hiddink was last in charge in 2009, secured their progress with a 5-1 win over a much-changed Manchester City side at Stamford Bridge on Sunday but face a difficult test at Everton, who beat Bournemouth on Saturday.

Arsenal, looking to win the competition for the third year in succession, will have a home game against Watford, who beat Leeds United, if they come through a replay against Hull City, while Manchester United will host West Ham, who won 5-1 at Blackburn Rovers, if they get past Shrewsbury at the New Meadow on Monday night.

If Arsenal get through, it will be the 9th time in 16 FA Cup ties that they have played a Premier League team. Draw hasnt been kind recently
