The draw has been made for the sixth round of the FA Cup.
And if Manchester United can beat Preston North End this evening they will host holders Arsenal in the unquestioned tie of the round.
England manager Roy Hodgson helped with the draw and he did former club Liverpool a huge favour as the Reds were handed a home tie against another of Hodgson’s ex-employers, Blackburn Rovers, while Aston Villa and West Brom will meet in a hotly-contested Midlands derby at Villa Park.
And there will definitely be Football League representation in the semi-finals after giant-killing League One side Bradford were drawn at home to Championship club Reading.
FA Cup quarter-final draw: (to be played March 7/8):
Liverpool v Blackburn Rovers
Bradford City v Reading
Preston/Man Utd v Arsenal
Aston Villa v West Brom
