FA Cup holders Chelsea have been given an away tie in today's Sixth Round draw, made by Palace favourites Mark Bright and Geoff Thomas at Soho Square. The Blues will travel to Barnsley, who sensationally won at Anfield with Brian Howard's last-gasp goal on Saturday.
Only three Premiership sides are definitely through to the Quarter Finals. The other two, Manchester United and Portsmouth, have been drawn to play each other at Old Trafford. United won 2-1 when they met in the Fourth Round last season, also at the "Theatre of Dreams".
Ricky Lambert's late goal on Saturday put Bristol Rovers into the last eight for the first time for half a century. Even Jack Sparrow will be struggling to get a ticket with half of Bristol wanting to see the Pirates take on West Bromwich Albion.
Millwall, in 2004, were the last club from outside the top flight to reach The FA Cup Final.
