FA Cup quarter-final draw LIVE: Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea learn opponents

The FA Cup has reached its final stages, with a Wembley trip firmly in sight for the teams involved.

The fifth round of the competition took place at the weekend. Premier League big boys Liverpool , Arsenal , Manchester City and Chelsea all safely progressed and will no doubt be aiming to add some more silverware to their trophy cabinets.

They have been joined in the quarter-finals by Leeds United and Southampton . League One side Port Vale are the lowest-ranked side still involved , having beaten Sunderland in one of the shocks of the fifth round. They will of course be eyeing a glamour tie.

There is still one team to be decided, with West Ham United and Brentford due to do battle at the London Stadium on Monday.

Before that game, the draw for the quarter-finals will take place. Mirror Football will bring you all of the coverage from the draw, as well as plenty of reaction so stay tuned...

West Ham or Brentford?

As mentioned earlier, we know most of the quarter-final line-up. But there will be one 'either or' in this evening's draw.

West Ham and Brentford meet in an all-Premier League shootout for a quarter-final spot.

The Hammers face a fight for their lives between now and May, while Brentford are dreaming of Europe. But the magic of the cup means the form book - and league tables - essentially go out of the window...

A game away from Wembley

That's the reality for Port Vale after they stunned Premier League Sunderland yesterday.

Yes, we may be in familiar territory for your Arsenals, your Chelseas etc. But for Port Vale, who are by no means guaranteed to avoid relegation to League Two, what a fairytale run they've enjoyed.

And they are now just one more big result away from a day out at the national stadium.

Who will they get next? Well, that could be the big story from tonight's draw...
