Sunderland face a second successive away trip in the competition as they were drawn against Port Vale or Bristol City - that fourth-round tie was postponed until Tuesday, 3 March (19:45 GMT) because of a waterlogged pitch.

Meanwhile Championship promotion chasers Wrexham welcome eight-time winners Chelsea.

The matches will be played across the weekend of 7-8 March.
