FA Cup 6th-round draw: Everton to face Chelsea in quarterfinals

Only one round separates the FA Cup's remaining participants from a semifinal at Wembley.

A decuplet of the FA Cup's 736 entrants remain standing, and on Sunday, those 10 clubs were pitted into four quarterfinal ties.

Most notably, in the only tie that promises two Premier League clubs, Everton and Chelsea were drawn together. The Toffees and Blues have produced a number of high-scoring affairs in the past two seasons, including a 6-3 away victory at Goodison Park in August 2014.

Elsewhere, Reading and Crystal Palace will meet in a tie that both clubs should be relatively pleased about. The fixture will see Alan Pardew return to Reading, who he represented as both a player and manager, as he attempts to continue Palace's perfect record against the Royals in the FA Cup.

Arsenal will have the luxury of playing at the Emirates Stadium for a fourth straight tie if the Gunners can first defeat Hull City in a fifth-round replay at KC Stadium. Arsene Wenger's side drew Sunderland at home in the third round, and Burnley at home in the fourth round.

Lastly, Shrewsbury Town, the FA Cup's only survivor from outside the Premier League and the Championship, will be particularly keen on piling further misery on Manchester United on Monday. Beyond the geographical proximity of the two clubs, a giant slaying will result in another payday for the Shrews, as the winner of the tie will host West Ham United.

Here's the draw for the sixth round of the competition in full:

Reading vs. Crystal Palace

Everton vs. Chelsea

Arsenal or Hull City vs. Watford

Shrewsbury Town or Manchester United vs. West Ham United
