Women’s Super League champions Chelsea will travel to City for the first leg of their champions league quarter finals clash, before hosting Gareth Taylor’s side in the second leg, BBC reports.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, winners of the competition’s previous format in 2007, will host the second leg against Real Madrid after qualifying as group winners.
It is the first time that three English teams have progressed to the last-16 stage.
Should Arsenal progress, they will avoid meeting a fellow English team until the final as they have been drawn against the winners of Bayern Munich versus Lyon in the semi-finals.
Chelsea or City will face the winners of the tie between two-time German winners Wolfsburg and current holders Barcelona.

The draw means Chelsea and City will face one another four times within the space of 12 days across three competitions.
The two clubs meet in the League Cup final on 15 March and again in the WSL on 23 March.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter finals will be held before the WSL match, either on 18 or 19 March, while the second leg will be held on either the 26 or 27 March.
The semi-final first legs are scheduled for the 19/20 April, with the second legs the following week 26/27 April.
