Manchester City are the bookies' favourites to win the FA Cup despite receiving arguably the toughest quarter-final draw.
Pep Guardiola's men will go to Southampton in their hunt for a Treble.
And Quadruple-hunting Liverpool face a visit to the winners of the final fifth-round tie.

Everton chief Frank Lampard saluted two-goal Salomon Rondon for the way he came out of the cold to sink National Leaguers Boreham Wood.

"When he comes in, and he comes in today, he contributes and he gives us something different.
"He's a different style of striker for us. A good, physical presence in the box and we need that. We need that for the squad ongoing."
These are typical odds for winning the tournament: Man City 9/5, Liverpool 11/4, Chelsea 9/2, Everton 27/2.

Lampard explains Mykolenko withdrawal
Everton manager Frank Lampard has revealed that he substituted Vitalii Mykolenko as a precaution in last night's FA Cup win over non-league Boreham Wood.
Ukrainian Mykolenko was named as the Toffees captain for the night in a show of solidarity with the player over Russia's invasion of his home country.
However, the defender was substituted for Seamus Coleman on the hour mark, having picked up a knock.
Lampard explained that the issue wasn't serious, but the club didn't want to take any risks: "It's a dead leg. It's high-up so hopefully not too bad."
Everton visit Tottenham in the Premier League on Monday night.

Eagles linked to Sanson
FA Cup quarter-finalists Crystal Palace are tipped to join a summer fight for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Sanson.

Forest host final tie
Seven of the eight matches in this year's fifth round have now been played, and the final one now takes on extra significance following last night's draw.
Nottingham Forest host Huddersfield Town on Monday evening for the right to host Liverpool in the quarter-finals.
The prospect will have supporters of the two Championship clubs excited, but first they have to negotiate league action this evening.
Forest have already claimed two Premier League scalps in the competition this season, having beaten Arsenal and Leicester at the City Ground.
The Terriers have also knocked out a top-flight side, winning 2-1 at Burnley in the third round, and they are also the form team in England. It's now 17 games in all competitions since the West Yorkshire club last tasted defeat.

Wood have settled for that
Boreham Wood have returned to the small matter of trying to win a Football League spot after Everton ended their FA Cup heroics.
Rock-solid Wood didn't let a goal in throughout the competition until Salomon Rondon's second-half double sank them in the fifth round at Goodison Park last night.
And the National League high-fliers were even without two of their first-choice centre-backs.
Apart from promotion, Wood's other target might be to increase their fan base.
Their 2,000 following at Goodison compares to their average home crowd of 949, with only bottom club Dover lower on 916.

Premier pair dreaming of glory
Crystal Palace will host Everton in the FA Cup quarter-final later this month, and both clubs have already begun dreaming of a date with Wembley.
The two top-flight clubs managed to avoid the remaining members of the so-called Big Six - Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City - and will now fancy their chances of going all the way in the competition.
Palace have twice reached the FA Cup Final in their history, but eventually lost out to Manchester United on both occasions despite taking the lead.
The Eagles were beaten 2-1 by United in extra-time back in 2016 when Jesse Lingard scored the winner, and they also lost the 1990 final in a replay following a 3-3 classic in the first game.
The Toffees, meanwhile, have lifted the FA Cup on five occasions, although not since 1995. Paul Rideout was the matchwinner then when Manchester United were again the opponents.

Boro targeting third cup scalp
Middlesbrough are preparing for their FA Cup quarter-final with Chelsea, and believe they can take down a third member of the Premier League's big six.
Boro have already eliminated Manchester United and Tottenham in this season's competition, as well as League Two Mansfield in the third round.
Chris Wilder's Boro were handed the home tie with the European champions in last night's draw by former boss Gareth Southgate.
Chelsea beat Middlesbrough in the final of the FA Cup at Wembley in 1997, winning 2-0 thanks for a first minute goal from Roberto Di Matteo and a late effort from Eddie Newton.
Middlesbrough players celebrate scoring against Tottenham in the fifth round. -
