FA Cup: Middlesbrough will host Chelsea in quarter-final

Championship side Middlesbrough will welcome Chelsea to the Riverside Stadium in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Chelsea’s trip to the North East will be a repeat of the 1997 FA Cup final, which the Blues won 2-0 at Wembley.

Championship pair Forest and Huddersfield face each other on Monday in the final tie of the fifth round.

The games will played on the weekend of 19-20 March.

FA Cup quarter-final draw:

Crystal Palace v Everton
