Oliver Glasner's side will now complete the full set of EFL divisions in the fifth round of the FA Cup having already seen off League One's Stockport County and League Two Doncaster Rovers to get this far.
Championship Millwall also sit in 12th place, as it happens, and have struck upon a good run of form over the past month or so with just one defeat in their past eight league games.
A two-goal victory against Championship leaders Leeds in the last round earned the shock 2004 FA Cup finalists this London derby in the fifth round, and Alex Neil's side will be hoping to pull off an upset.
