Sidley, for whom goalkeeper Greg Nessling is a fitness doubt, will be seeking a measure of revenge having lost 5-1 in a league fixture away to Shoreham during September. The winners will face Peacehaven & Telscombe in the semi-finals.
Sussex Division Two high-flyers Common will be out to spring a surprise against Division One title hopefuls East Preston and set up a last four tie against the aforementioned Peacehaven.
Common knocked out one high-riding Division One side in Hassocks in round two and took Crowborough Athletic, who are already through to the semi-finals, to penalties in the Sussex Senior Cup.
