Manchester City are the last of the so-called 'big six' left in the draw, while Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace will each sense a major opportunity for an upset.

Forest are the most recent winners beyond City, lifting the Cup in 1959, and will face Pep Guardiola's men for a place in the final.

Seven-time champions Aston Villa last won the competition in 1957 and face two-time finalists Crystal Palace, who are yet to win the trophy in their history.
