FA Cup quarterfinal draw results: Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City avoid each other in last eight

With the Fifth Round (Round of 16) of the FA Cup underway this week, the 16 teams in the competition will soon be halved to eight, as we get set for the quarterfinals of the competition.

The Fifth Round matches will all take place between Tuesday, March 1 and Thursday, March 3 with the exception of the all-Championship showdown between Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield which happens on Monday, March 7.

But the FA Cup quarterfinal draw took place before all the Fifth Round matches concluded. The winners of the Nottingham Forest vs. Huddersfield match already know who and where they will be playing in the quarters before they take the field.

Below are all the details for the 2022 FA Cup quarterfinal draw.

We won't seen an all-Premier League field in the quarterfinals with Tottenham's ouster by Middlesbrough and one of Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield guaranteed to advance.

The lone non-league side Boreham Wood (fifth division) lost 2-0 to Everton in the Fifth Round. The Hertfordshire club went deeper in the FA Cup than they have in the FA Trophy (competition for teams in fifth division through eighth division).

Outside of Boreham Wood and the Premier League teams, every other team in the Round of 16 hails from the Championship (noted with a 'CH').

The quarterfinals will be spread across the weekend of March 18-20. With a full slate of Premier League matches and all but two Championship teams scheduled for league action that same weekend, there will be some rescheduling necessary.

Roughly a month later, the quarterfinal winners will face off in the semis on the weekend of April 16, while the final will be held at Wembley on May 14.

• Round of 16 (Fifth Round): Tuesday-Monday, March 1-7
• Quarterfinals: Saturday-Sunday, March 19-20
• Semifinals: Saturday, April 16
• Final: Saturday, May 14

Unlike the first two rounds of the competition, every match remaining in the competition must be decided on the day it is played, with no chance of a replay.

If the game finishes in a draw, then it will proceed into a 30-minute extra time period. If the score is still level after extra time, the game will be decided by a penalty-kick shootout.
