Wolves will host Championship-side Coventry City at Molineux in the quarter-final of the Emirates FA Cup.

The draw was made after Wolves beat Brighton 1-0 last night in the fifth round.

After last night's win, boss Gary O'Neil said: "The crowd played a big part in helping to keep the lads going in the late parts of the game, when they could see we were tiring, but the noise from the stadium was incredible.

"But it was a really good evening, a tough side to beat, and delighted to get through to the quarter-final."

It will be the first time the two teams have face each other - besides pre-season friendlies - since April 2014.

The quarter-final ties are scheduled to take place across the weekend of Saturday 16th March, meaning Wolves' Premier League fixture against AFC Bournemouth will have to be postponed.

Coventry City progressed into this stage of the FA Cup for the first time since the 2008/09 season.
