The home tie with Liverpool at the start of April adds to a hugely significant run of games in their season, with it following the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and coming before league games against Chelsea and Mikel Arteta’s side.
Additionally, should they progress past Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League last 16, they will also have to contend with the two legs of a quarter-final clash in Europe in that period.
They will take confidence, though, from their two league wins this season over Liverpool, who, after overcoming Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fifth round, are hoping to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2022.
Port Vale are the only League One side to have made it to the last eight, despite the fact that they sit bottom of English football’s third tier.
However, Jon Brady’s side will be riding high from their 1-0 win over Premier League outfit Sunderland as they make the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Liam Rosenior’s Blues are into the last eight after surviving a scare away at Wrexham on Saturday, coming from behind twice before sealing a 4-2 win in extra time.

Arsenal continue to dream of a spectacular quadruple, and avoiding one of the other five Premier League sides would have done those hopes no harm.
The Gunners avoided an upset at League One Mansfield Town on Saturday, with Arteta able to rest players ahead of the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Bayer Leverkusen this week.
Southampton are enjoying a resurgence under Tonda Eckert, though, unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions, with a 1-0 win away at top-flight Fulham on Sunday booking their spot in the last eight.
Leeds United were able to avoid any such upset later on in the afternoon, dispatching Norwich City 3-0, and Daniel Farke’s side will be pleased to have avoided one of the Premier League’s big-hitters in the quarter-finals.
