Spurs host West Ham in possibly the match of the round.

White Hart Lane will play host to the all-London affair and West Ham will fancy their chances of causing an upset having downed their rivals 3-0 in the Premier League earlier this month.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have been drawn against the winner of next week's clash between Sunderland and Southampton, with last year's semi-finalists expected to once again progress to the final four.

Four-time winners Manchester United will face a familiar opponent in Stoke City, who they narrowly beat 3-2 at Old Trafford on the weekend.

Manchester City will travel to the only Championship side remaining in the competition -- Leicester City. Manuel Pellegrini's side required extra time goals from Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko to seal their place in the next round. City will be hoping to win the trophy for the first time since 1976.

All ties will be played in the week beginning December 16.

To be played week of December 16

What kind of comparison is this??

Can you compare Cholocate and Milo??

Chelsea will win LIKE

Newcastle will again be without Steven Taylor with central defence partner Fabricio Coloccini also doubtful.

Fellow defender Paul Dummett is also unavailable because of a hamstring problem.

Chelsea have no reported fresh injury problems after their League Cup win over Arsenal.

Jose Mourinho is likely to rotate his squad again after giving several fringe players their chance in that midweek match.

MATCH PREVIEW

It seems that right now for Chelsea everything's coming up Jose!

It follows a perfect October in which he resurrected the Blues' title challenge, their Champions League aspirations and guided them to the last eight of the League Cup.

It was a month which even included rediscovering timely late winning goals, upsetting matchday officials and frustrating journalists by walking out of a press conference after taking exception to their questioning.

It seems that normal service has very much been resumed.

And with the happy/special one back to his old self, a win at Newcastle will complete the feelgood factor and send Chelsea to the top of the table.

The odds and the statistics would suggest it's a probability too as the visitors are gathering some unstoppable momentum after a run of six straight victories.

The hosts by contrast will go into the game off the back of a damaging week in which they not only lost the derby with Sunderland in the final minutes but also their place in the Capital One Cup. Significantly, the latter match was only settled after extra time.

How much those two energy-sapping contests have taken out of them both physically and mentally may well be a decisive factor. Nine of the 11 who started at Sunderland on Sunday also made an appearance in the cup three days later.

But last season they were able to upset the pre-match predictions in similar circumstances, coming from behind to inflict a dramatic late defeat on Chelsea courtesy of two Moussa Sissoko goals.

That said, this win was the only one they've achieved at home to Saturday's opponents in the last six attempts and while footballing logic doesn't always apply, it would be a major surprise if they could find only their second home win of the Premier League season this weekend.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

*.Newcastle came from 2-1 down to win 3-2 in the corresponding fixture last season, with Moussa Sissoko scoring an injury-time winner.

*.Only bottom two Crystal Palace and Sunderland have conceded more goals than Newcastle's 16 in this season's Premier League.

*.The Magpies have only won one of their four home games in this Premier League season.

Chelsea

*.Chelsea are aiming for a fourth consecutive league victory, and a seventh win in a row in all competitions.

*.The Blues have the best home record in the Premier League but are ranked 13th in the away form table, having won just one of their four away matches so far.

*.Chelsea have not conceded more than one goal in any league game this season.
