Bradford will host Arsenal in the
Capital One Cup quarter-finals
while Leeds have been handed a
home tie against Chelsea.
Elsewhere, Swansea host
Middlesbrough and Aston Villa
travel to Norwich.
Chelsea were handed a trip to old
rivals Leeds as a reward for their
comeback win over Manchester
United on Wednesday night.
Roberto Di Matteo's side claimed a
5-4 extra-time victory over the Red
Devils after forcing the additional
period courtesy of Eden Hazard's
last-gasp penalty.
The Blues' trip to Elland Road will
excite both sets of fans, while Ken
Bates - former owner of Chelsea and
currently in the process of selling
Leeds - will be another interested
observer.
Neil Warnock's side have already
dispensed with two top-flight
opponents in the competition,
knocking out Everton 2-1 and
Southampton 3-0 - both on home
turf.
Chelsea boss Di Matteo told Sky
Sports: "Playing away is always
difficult and Leeds and Chelsea
have a bit of history there as well.
"It will be an interesting game."
The lowest-ranked side still in the
hat, League Two outfit Bradford
have been dealt a tough draw
against Arsenal but at least have
the benefit of home advantage.
