Sheffield United will take on Arsenal in a
FA Cup quarter-final match at the Bramall Lane on June 28.
The Blades booked their place in this stage after defeating English Championship side Reading FC 2-1 away.
The victory against a resilient Reading side came after they had eliminated English Championship outfit Millwall way.
They returned to winning ways on the road in the FA Cup when they defeated English National League side AFC Fylde in their last away game.
Chris Wilder, the Sheffield manager, is looking forward to masterminding a win over former FA Cup champions, Arsenal.
"Form and the games before go out of the window. It's a great game for us to look forward to," Wilder said.
"They are looking for silverware like every team is at this stage of the competition. There's a great incentive now to take that next step forward and progress."
Meanwhile, Arsenal progressed to this round after defeating English League One side Portsmouth 2-0 away.
The Gunners had eliminated fellow English Premier League club AFC Bournemouth at home in their previous FA Cup game.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last three away matches in the league having recorded three successive victories.
The last time Sheffield and Arsenal met in the FA Cup was on 01 March 2005. The Gunners recorded a 4-2 win on penalties against the Blades following a 0-0 draw in the fifth round proper match at the Bramall Lane.
