League One side Mansfield Town will host 14-time winners Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round.
The Stags defeated Premier League stragglers Burnley 2-1 on Saturday afternoon, producing a remarkable second-half comeback at Turf Moor.
Elsewhere, Manchester City will visit Newcastle in one of two all-Premier League ties, in a repeat of one of this season's League Cup semi-finals.
Non-league Macclesfield could be in line to face a third top-flight opponent in a row - either the Silkmen or Brentford will head to West Ham in round five after Monday night's tie.
Sunderland face a second successive away trip in the competition as they were drawn against Port Vale or Bristol City - that fourth-round tie was postponed until Tuesday, 3 March (19:45 GMT) because of a waterlogged pitch.
Meanwhile Championship promotion chasers Wrexham welcome eight-time winners Chelsea.
The matches will be played across the weekend of 7-8 March.
