Chelsea have been given a difficult away tie at Everton in the FA Cup quarter-final in the only confirmed all-Premier League clash in the sixth round draw, after the London sailed past Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday.

Manager Gus Hiddink won the FA Cup in 2009 with Chelsea but faces a tough trip to Goodison Park as he searches for a repeat triumph.

The winner of Shrewsbury Town and Manchester United, the last fifth-round tie to be played on Monday evening, will play West Ham at home. The London club beat Blackburn Rovers 5-1 on Sunday and last won the FA Cup in 1980, their most recent major trophy, and manager Slaven Bilic has openly prioritised the FA Cup this season.

The only replay of the round thus far will take place on March 8th when Arsenal travel to Hull City after their 0-0 draw at the Emirates on Saturday. The victor will have a home draw against Watford, who scraped past Leeds thanks to a calamitous Scott Wootton own goal.
