Manchester United will travel to Aldershot Town in the last 16 of the Carling-sponsored League Cup. The tie looks set to become the headline-grabbing contest of the round, with the League Two outfit hosting the four-time winners in one of the biggest nights of their history.
Dean Holdsworth's men reached this stage of the competition following victories over West Ham United, Carlisle United and Rochdale FC.
3,334 watched as The Shots come from behind to beat Rochdale in round three and ensure the club, reformed in 1992, secured safe passage to the last 16.
Meanwhile, at Elland Road, a much-changed Manchester United side cruised to a 3-0 victory thanks to a brace from Michael Owen and a fine strike from Ryan Giggs.
In other ties, ex-Red Owen Hargreaves will be hoping for more goalscoring heroics in the competition as Manchester City prepared to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Everton, looking for their first major trophy since 1995, will host Chelsea; whilst Stoke City will welcome Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool to the Britanni Stadium.
As for the Championship sides, Southampton travel to Crystal Palace, whilst Cardiff City will entertain Burnley at the Cardiff City Stadium.
