The FA Cup sixth round draw

Difficult cup tie for Chelsea as they travel to Everton

Chelsea have been given a difficult away tie at Everton in the FA Cup quarter-final in the only confirmed all-Premier League clash in the sixth round draw. The London team sailed past Manchester City 5-1 yesterday .

Manager Gus Hiddink won the FA Cup in 2009 with Chelsea, but faces a tough trip to Goodison Park as he searches for a repeat triumph.

The winner of Shrewsbury Town and Manchester United, the last fifth-round tie to be played this evening, will play at home to West Ham.

The London club beat Blackburn Rovers 5-1 yesterday, and last won the FA Cup in 1980, their most recent major trophy. Manager Slaven Bilic has openly prioritised the FA Cup this season.
