THE date and kick-off time for Newcastle United's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City has been set.

The Magpies will travel to the Etihad Stadium in the last eight of the competition on Saturday, March 16 (5.30pm).

The quarter-final tie will be televised live on BBC One.

Newcastle's appearance in the last eight means their Premier League home game with Crystal Palace, which was originally scheduled to take place on March 16, has been postponed and will have to be rearranged.

Newcastle booked their spot in the last eight when they beat Blackburn Rovers on penalties at Ewood Park on Tuesday night.
