13-time cup winners Arsenal, who beat Portsmouth on Tuesday, will travel to Sheffield United, winners over Championship side Reading.

Norwich City, which needed penalties to beat Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, saw their win marred by ugly postmatch scenes when Spurs player Eric Dier leapt into the stands to confront a fan who allegedly insulted his brother.
