An intriguing match-up has Leeds travelling to Leicester, whose manager Martin O'Neill they tried to recruit earlier this month.

There are two other all-Premiership ties, with Manchester United at home to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle hosting Blackburn.

But there will be at least one Nationwide League club in the quarter-finals, after in-form Second Division side Luton were drawn with Barnsley of Division One.
