    Liverpool, who beat Accrington Stanley 4-0, will travel to Home Park whilst holders Manchester United are at home to Leicester.

    Ruben Amorim’s side sealed a dramatic penalty shootout win over Arsenal despite being down to ten men.

    Amorim will face his predecessor Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was in interim charge at United before moving to Leicester permanently.

    Chelsea will travel to Brighton, with the winner of Leyton Orient vs Derby playing at home against Manchester City.

    Tottenham were taken to extra-time by Tamworth but won 3-0 to earn a trip to Aston Villa.

    Frank Lampard’s Coventry City will welcome Ipswich Town, who were comfortable winners over Bristol Rovers.

    Newcastle came from behind at home to beat Bromley 3-1, with Eddie Howe’s side now set to face Birmingham City at St Andrew’s.

    Dagenham and Redbridge are the lowest-ranked side left and will face Leeds United should they beat Millwall on Monday night, live on talkSPORT 2.

    Alongside this fixture, three other ties will be decided during the week following postponements this weekend due to the weather.

    Leyton Orient vs Derby, Mansfield Town vs Wigan Athletic and Preston North End vs Charlton all await victors.
