Sheffield United will face Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley, while Brighton play Manchester United.
Sheffield United came from behind to beat fellow Championship side Blackburn 3-2 on Sunday to take their place in the last four.
They will be without on-loan Manchester City duo Tommy Doyle and James McAtee for their trip to Wembley, with both ineligible to play against their parent club.
Before the draw was made, Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom said he hoped his side would avoid Man City so Doyle and McAtee could feature for the Blades.
He said: "My wish is we don't draw City, we don't complicate things with the loans, that is just what I wish, but we will wait and see. It would have to be discussed, it just complicates things, if we avoid them they are our players and if we drew them, they are their players."
