Manchester City will play Chelsea and Arsenal will host Liverpool in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Manuel Pellegrini’s City, winners in 2011 and runners-up to Wigan last year, beat Watford in the fourth round on Saturday, while Chelsea booked their passage with a 1-0 victory over Stoke on Sunday, Oscar’s first-half free-kick proving decisive.
Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, said: “No problem. If you want to be the best, you have to play against the best. So it’s good for us. Good experience, good game, big game.”
Ten-time winners and current Premier League pacesetters, Arsenal, were paired with Liverpool after their victories over Coventry and Bournemouth respectively.
There are four all-Premier League ties in total as Everton were drawn against Swansea – one of manager Roberto Martinez’ former clubs – while Sunderland will host Southampton.
Holders Wigan play Cardiff while the two lowest-ranking teams, Sheffield United and Preston, could face each other in the quarter-finals if they prevail in replays against Fulham and Nottingham Forest.
Hull’s victory over Southend earned them a trip to Brighton, while two Championship sides will meet at Hillsborough where Sheffield Wednesday host Charlton.
Full draw:
Manchester City v Chelsea
Fulham/Sheffield Utd v Nottingham Forest/Preston
Arsenal v Liverpool
Brighton v Hull City
Cardiff City v Wigan Athletic
Sheffield Wednesday v Charlton
Sunderland v Southampton
Everton v Swansea City
The ties will be played between February 15 and 16, 2014.
