The Magpies booked their place in the last eight with a 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, and were subsequently handed a trip to the capital to face Mauricio Pochettino's Blues.

And it has now been announced that the game at Stamford Bridge - which has been selected for live television coverage on Sky Sports - will be played on Tuesday, 19th December, with kick-off set for 8pm.

Further details will be confirmed in due course.
