The quarter-finals are scheduled to be played on either Tuesday 17 December or Wednesday 18 December.
Quarter-final draw:
UNITED v Chelsea
Wigan v Blackburn
Aston Villa v Liverpool
Sheff Utd v Crystal Palace
As Sky’s live match will be broadcast on the Tuesday it is a fairly safe bet that United’s game will be played on the 17th.
Chelsea captain and United fan John Terry is already looking forward to the game.
He said: "It`s a tough draw - they`re playing well, but so are we. It`ll be a tough game, but we`ll go hoping to win. We had a good result last season and won 3-0, but everyone finds it a tough game there."
John O’Shea can’t wait: ``We are interested in the cup as some of the lads who are not playing week in, week out, are getting a competitive game.''
