FA CUP: Chelsea Battle Everton For Quarter Final Berth

1 Min Read

Chelsea will travel to Premier League rivals Everton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Championship side Reading face Crystal Palace at home, while Watford will travel to the winner of the replay between Arsenal and Hull.

Manchester United and League One Shrewsbury play their fifth-round tie on Monday, with the winner hosting West Ham.

Ties will take place across the weekend of 11-14 March.

Chelsea beat Everton in the FA Cup final in 2009 when interim boss Guus Hiddink was in his first spell in charge of the Blues.

“It was a long time ago,” said the Dutchman, after his side’s 5-1 win over Manchester City in the fifth round on Sunday.

“They are longing for revenge. We hope to maintain the flow we are in in the FA Cup.”
