Premier League leader Manchester City will travel to second-tier Championship side Peterborough United while Chelsea is away at Luton Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup after most of the top-flight sides avoided each other in Sunday's draw.
City came from behind to beat Fulham 4-1 while Chelsea defeated Plymouth Argyle 2-1 in extra time on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur, which saw off Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1, must travel to Middlesbrough, which beat Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford.
In an all-Premier League clash, Southampton hosts West Ham United which survived a potential upset at the hands of non-league side Kidderminster Harriers with last-gasp goals in normal time and extra time.
