Newcastle were rewarded with a trip to Tottenham after dumping out Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday night - but Bournemouth nicked the tie of the round.
Alan Pardew's side found themselves in the quarter-final hat after Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko's goals either side of half-time stunned City.
And they will travel to north London - the scene of their Premier League win on Sunday. Eddie Howe's Bournemouth have a glamorous tie to look forward to as Liverpool travel to the south coast.
The pair are familiarly foes having faced off in last year's FA Cup, while Derby - who thrashed Fulham at Craven Cottage on Tuesday - will welcome Chelsea to the Midlands.
Steve McClaren's Rams top the second tier with many tipping them for promotion to the Premier League this season.
Meanwhile, the Graziano Pelle-inspired Southampton - off the back of their last-gasp win at Stoke - will travel to Bramall Lane to play League One Sheffield United.
The ties will take place the week commencing December 15.
