FA Cup holders Wigan have been drawn away at Manchester City for a quarter-final tie which is a repeat of last season's Wembley final.
Everton, who beat Swansea in the fifth round, will travel to Premier League rivals Arsenal, who ousted Liverpool.
The last eight will include a Sheffield derby if Wednesday beat Charlton after United saw off Nottingham Forest 3-1.
Sunderland travel to either Brighton or Hull, which could mean a south coast return for Black Cats boss Gus Poyet.
The four ties are scheduled to be played on 8-9 March.
Sunday's draw presents the opportunity for Premier League title challengers City to gain revenge on Wigan for a shock 1-0 defeat in last May's showpiece.
City were overwhelming favourites to beat the Latics, then under the guidance of now Everton boss Roberto Martinez, but were undone by Ben Watson's last-gasp winner.
However, there is now a division between the two clubs as Wigan were relegated from the top flight shortly after their Wembley triumph.
The draw also means Latics boss Uwe Rosler will return to City, whom he represented with distinction between 1994 and 1998, for the first time in his managerial career.
