There are 10 teams remaining in the FA Cup, and soon we’ll be down to the final eight. The remaining sides were drawn in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Sunday, and there’s plenty to like about how it shook out.

The big winners of this draw are the competition’s fairy tale team, Lincoln City. They became the first non-league side to make the FA Cup quarterfinals by beating Burnley on Saturday, and they look likely to get a massive payday with a game away to Arsenal. And if the unthinkable happens on Monday, we’ll get to see perhaps the coolest FA Cup quarterfinal tie ever: one between two non-league teams.
Most eyes will be on the one quarterfinal between two big-name teams, though. Chelsea and Manchester United will both look at the teams left and think they should target winning this competition. Whoever comes away victorious in their tie will be favorites heading into the neutral-site semifinals.
The fifth round of the FA Cup was the last that will interrupt Premier League play, so the remaining teams will have to play these games in addition to their regular schedule. Matches will take place the weekend of March 11.
