ITV will also broadcast Wolves meeting with Coventry City at Molineux. The BBC will show Chelsea's meeting with Championship leaders Leicester City and Newcastle's trip to holders Manchester City.
The Magpies will travel to the Etihad to face Pep Guardiola's side, who beat Manchester United in last year's final, on Saturday, March 16 at 5:30pm.

Liverpool also caught the eye in the fifth round courtesy of Jurgen Klopp's young guns. A brace from teenage striker Jayden Danns was the talking point in their 3-0 win over Southampton - a result which sets up a showdown with United, who edged past Forest.

Newcastle won a tense penalty shootout against Blackburn to book their quarter-final spot.
