The Potters will play Bolton who beat Carling Cup holders Birmingham in a thrilling encounter at St Andrews on Saturday.

Meanwhile Manchester United will play against bitter local rivals Manchester City.

United, who comfortably beat Arsenal 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday evening, were drawn against the winners of the sixth-round tie between City and Reading.
