Arsenal take on Brighton, Liverpool host Crystal Palace, Chelsea take a trip to Wolves and Tottenham are away at holders Newcastle in four intriguing ties. Elsewhere, it’s an all-Welsh affair Wrexham face Cardiff for the first time in over 13 years.
So, 16 teams will be whittled down to the final eight. Which will earn their spot in the quarter-finals?
