FA Cup quarterfinal draw: Manchester City to face Bournemouth, Aston Villa get Championship’s Preston

The collision of Manchester City in Bournemouth heads the quarter -final draw for the FA Cup, with eight teams transferred to the Historic Cup competition.

Preston North End, who takes on Aston Villa in the quarterfinals, is the only lower League side that the last eight cracks after expeling fellow championshipsburnley on Saturday. The rest of the field consists of Premier League teams, although very few heavyweights reached the quarterfinals, which increases the possibility that a surprising competition ultimately wins the whole thing. Manchester City is now the heavy favorites to take the whole thing home.

Manchester United bounced in penalties on Sunday in a loss for Fulham.
