Goalkeeping legend David Seaman, a Whites fan, pulled the numbers out of the hat and presented Leeds or Chelsea with a home clash against United's current big promotion rivals Leicester City in the last eight.

Leeds and Leicester locked horns in a top-of-the-table clash at Elland Road on Friday night in which a stunning comeback 3-1 win for Farke's second-placed side slashed the gap to the Foxes down to six points.

Leicester then booked their place in the FA Cup quarters on Tuesday night with a 1-0 win at Bournemouth after extra-time.

The FA Cup quarter-finals will be played over the weekend of March 16.
