Harry Redknapp's Spurs, who struggled to a replay against League One side Stevenage, will face Premier League side Bolton if they win their replay at White Hart Lane, while David Moyes' Everton can look forward to a tough tie against Martin O'Neill's Sunderland who knocked out Arsenal yesterday.

Liverpool or Brighton, who play this afternoon in the fifth round, were given a home game against Stoke who got past League Two side Crawley Town this afternoon.

FA Cup quarter-final draw:

Liverpool/Brighton v Stoke

Chelsea/Birmingham v Leicester
