Wolves lying in wait for Solskjaer’s contenders

Manchester United’s victory over Chelsea earned them a tricky trip to face Wolves away from home in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

United’s visit to Molineux is the pick of the ties for the quarter-finals, which will also pit Championship side Millwall against Brighton at the Den.

Millwall will be delighted at being drawn at home, where they have already defeated Premier League opposition in the shape of Everton this season.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who beat Newport County to reach this stage of the competition, have been handed another favourable draw as they continue to push for titles in all four competitions this season. City will return to Wales to face Graham Potter’s Swansea City, who are currently 13th in the Championship.

The quarter-finals will take place over the weekend of March 16, with

the winning clubs set to receive £720,000 in prize money.

The final tie of the round is an allpremier League affair as Watford meet Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road. It is a winnable tie for Palace, who are on a mission to help the rmanager, Roy Hodgson, lift his first silverware in England.

Hodgson became the oldest Premier League manager in history on Sunday after passing Sir Bobby Robson’s record, taking charge of their FA Cup tie at Doncaster at the age of 71 years and 192 days.

Though Hodgson has won eight league titles during his coaching career, which spans four decades, he has never won a trophy in England.

Scott Dann, the Palace defender, has admitted Hodgson was desperate to make an impression in the Cup this season. “He will be thinking the same as we are, that we are a game away from Wembley.”
