The two Manchester clubs are through to the last eight alongside two other Premier League sides , Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.

“ Following a decision made by the relevant local authorities , Manchester City and Manchester United cannot play at home on the same night, nor on consecutive nights, ” said UEFA .
“ Should both clubs be drawn within the same sequence ( home or away ) , the team having finished lower in the domestic league the previous season – – in this case Manchester United — will be reversed in accordance with the UEFA Club Competitions Committee principles. ”
The semi – final draw will also take place on Friday , and UEFA added : “ The calendar for the semi – finals will be communicated to all parties on April 18 , 2019 , following the return legs of the quarter – finals . ”
