Southampton beat Wolves 2-0 shortly before the draw as they were paired with Bournemouth – who beat Burnley 2-0 earlier in the week.

Chelsea will go toe-to-toe with Sheffield United after Tammy Abraham’s tap-in ensured the Blues didn’t lose to Barnsley in the FA Cup for a second time, having famously slumped to defeat at Stamford Bridge in 2008.

The Blades edged past Bristol City thanks to a penalty from local hero Billy Sharp.
