Arsenal have been drawn against Manchester United or Preston North End in the FA Cup quarter-finals, while Liverpool will host Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
The Red Devils take on Preston on Monday night, while the other two Premier League giants both survived a rather predictable fifth round, with Sunderland the biggest casualties as they were knocked out by Chelsea-tormentors Bradford City, who will now take on Reading.
Should Louis van Gaal's men overcome their League One opponents, they will host the FA Cup holders at Old Trafford as they bid to end their own 11-year wait for success in England's most historic cup competition.
Liverpool's reward for beating Crystal Palace in the fifth round is a home tie against Blackburn, who are ninth in the Championship and struggling to keep pace in the promotion race - though have pedigree in the cup, having won it six times previously.
Elsewhere, Tim Sherwood's Aston Villa have been handed a West Midlands derby against Tony Pulis's West Brom, while Bradford will fancy their chances against Championship side Reading, having already knocked out Chelsea and Sunderland.
DRAW IN FULL:
Liverpool v Blackburn Rovers
Bradford City v Reading
Preston or Manchester United v Arsenal
Aston Villa v West Brom
