Already through to the next round of the competition are Premier League clubs Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth while Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City look to win some silverware following a 3-1 victory over Championship club Plymouth Argyle on Saturday. Also in the quarter-finals are Preston North End who defeated Burnley yesterday meaning their will be a representative from the second division in the last eight.

Following today’s two matches, there is one more tie to take place tomorrow, when Nottingham Forest welcome Ipswich Town to the City Ground.

The quarter-final ties will take place across the weekend of 26 March, before Wembley will host the semi-finals on 26 and 27 April and the competition concludes with the final on 17 May.
