Welcome to football.london's live coverage of the FA Cup quarter-final draw. Arsenal and Chelsea overcame lower league opposition to secure their place in the last eight as both teams go in search of a trophy.
The Gunners became the first Premier League club to start two 16-year-olds in a competitive match as they defeated Mansfield Town 2-1. Mikel Arteta's side were pushed hard as goals from Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze ensured Will Evans' effort counted for nought.
Liam Rosenior's time had a difficult night in Wales as Wrexham pushed the Blues to extra time. Chelsea were in danger of going out until Josh Acheampong's late equaliser forced an additional 30 minutes of play, and Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Pedro goals ensured progression.
The due are among seven teams to have already claimed their place in the draw this evening, while West Ham United and Brentford play this evening to earn the final spot in the competition. Leeds, Port Vale, Southampton, Manchester City and Liverpool all also eagerly await tonight's reveal.
