What are the big stories to look out for in the FA Cup quarter-finals?
Vincent Kompany will make an emotional return to the Etihad after Burnley were paired with his former club in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

A trip to the Amex to face Brighton will hold no fear for the League Two outfit following their shock 2-1 victory at St Mary’s.
