Manchester City will take on FA Cup holders Wigan as the quarter-final draw threw up a re-match of last year’s final.

Former City favourite Uwe Rosler will take his Latics side to the Etihad Stadium where Manuel Pellegrini’s side saw off Chelsea 2-0 on Saturday, with Wigan hoping to claim another top-flight scalp after seeing off Cardiff in the fifth round.

Wigan beat City 1-0 in last year’s final thanks to a late header from Ben Watson in what proved to be Roberto Mancini’s last match in charge of the Manchester club.

Although City fans will be keen for revenge, Rosler can be sure of a rapturous reception at the Etihad, having established himself as a cult figure at Maine Road during a spell that saw him score 64 goals in 176 appearances.

Although Wigan followed up their FA Cup success by suffering relegation, City have already beaten them once this season, a 5-0 League Cup victory before Rosler took charge at the DW Stadium.

Everton away to Arsenal is the only guaranteed all-Premier League clash in a draw which will see at least one Football League club reach a Wembley semi-final.

Meanwhile, Gus Poyet will wait to see if he makes a return to his old stomping ground after his Sunderland side were drawn away to the winners of today’s match between his former side Brighton and Hull.

Quarter-final draw
Arsenal vs Everton; Brighton or Hull vs Sunderland; Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday or Charlton; Manchester City vs Wigan.

Matches to be played on the weekend of March 8/9.
