Manchester City will face Tottenham three times in the space of four matches next month after being drawn against the London club in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Pep Guardiola’s men will have the away leg first, most likely at Spurs’s new ground on April 9th/10th. The return fixture will then be played on April 16th/17th.
The Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium is then scheduled to take place on April 20th. Fans on Twitter have been reacting to the draw with many confident of progressing to the semi-finals:

If they make it through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup tomorrow, City’s fixture schedule will be jam-packed. Their league game against Cardiff City on April 6th will have to be moved and with seven fixtures already scheduled for April, their squad depth will be tested to the limit.
If the Manchester club wants to win the quadruple, however, it is a challenge that they must overcome.
