Both have a realistic shot at the Championship play-offs this term and their main focus will be reaching the promised land.

But with just two games standing between them and a trip to a Wembley final, fans will be desperate for their sides to give it their all despite being overwhelming underdogs.

Meanwhile, Everton could be boosted by a semi-final berth, although the last thing Frank Lampard's Toffees need is more games at a time when they are still battling for survival.

How much do clubs get paid for appearing in the FA Cup quarter-finals?

The winners of all four ties will land £360,000 and every club will scoop £200,000 for appearing on live TV, meaning there is more than £500,000 up for grabs in total.
