Sunday saw the League One side hold the Premier League high-fliers to a 0-0 draw, with the sides due to now meet in a White Hart Lane replay. The winners of that tie will then host Owen Coyle’s Trotters in the last eight as a result of Sunday’s draw. Bolton won at Millwall on Saturday.

Everton defeated Blackpool on Saturday to reach the quarters, with Sunderland seeing off Arsenal to get this far.
