Middlesbrough’s impressive 3-0 win at Leeds earned Michael Carrick’s side a home tie with Stoke, while Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth will travel to Watford after their victory over Cheltenham.

Charlie Adam’s Fleetwood will face Rotherham following their shock victory over West Brom while fellow League Two side Harrogate’s reward for their win over League One Lincoln is a home tie against Championship side Preston.
