Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is set to make an emotional return to Manchester City after the clubs were paired together in the FA Cup quarter-final draw.
Former City skipper Kompany, who won four Premier League titles and two FA Cups among his haul of trophies during his 11-year-stay with the club, will take the Clarets to the Etihad Stadium later this month.
The Championship leaders booked their showdown with the reigning English champions minutes before the draw, courtesy of a 1-0 win over League One Fleetwood.
League Two Grimsby’s reward for their shock 2-1 win at top-flight Southampton is a trip to Brighton.
Gavan Holohan’s penalty double either side of half-time produced a huge upset at St Mary’s and left them one win away from a trip to Wembley.
The Mariners, who have reached the quarter-finals for the first time since the second world war, sit in 16th place in the fourth tier, while the Seagulls lie eighth in the Premier League.
Carabao Cup winners Manchester United will entertain top-flight rivals Fulham with a place in the semi-finals at stake.
They had to come from behind to beat West Ham 3-1 at Old Trafford, three days after their Wembley victory over Newcastle.
The final tie will see Championship promotion hopefuls Sheffield United host second-tier counterparts Blackburn, who beat Leicester City 2-1 on Tuesday night.
