Manchester City will travel to Bournemouth in the headline tie of the FA Cup quarter-final draw.
The reigning Premier League champions kept their cup hopes alive with a 3-1 win over Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, joining Aston Villa in the draw after they dispatched Championship outfit Cardiff City on Friday night.
A trip to Andoni Iraola's in-form Bournemouth awaits, with Villa handed a trip to Preston North End, who conquered Burnley in the fifth round.
Fulham's reward for ousting holders Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford is a London derby with Crystal Palace, with the last eight ties rounded off by Brighton & Hove Albion's clash with either Nottingham Forest or Ipswich Town.

When will FA Cup quarter-final matches be played?
The four FA Cup quarter-finals are to be played after the upcoming international break on the weekend of 29-30 March. As has been the case throughout the rest of the competition, there are no replays if a tie finishes all square, meaning all matches will be decided via extra-time and a penalty shootout if necessary.
Wembley then stages the two semi-finals in late April a tradition many people are still wrapping their head around before the final is held at the same venue on Saturday 17 May.
