Although we're not quite done with the FA Cup's fourth round matches, with Tottenham Hotspur about to kick off against Fulham at Craven Cottage and several replays yet to be staged, the fifth round draw has been announced. Mark Watson and Neil Ruddock have been pulling the names out of the hat, and the results were... interesting. Manchester United face Crawley Town at Old Trafford in what surely represents the sinister non-League side's cup run as well as putting a lot of cash in their chairman's pocket, while Manchester City - if they can beat Nottingham County in their upcoming replay - have to deal with Aston Villa at home.
FA Cup Fifth Round Draw Announced
Chelsea or Everton have what should be a fairly relaxing draw at home to Reading, while one draw is totally up in the either, as Fulham or Tottenham Hotspur play either Bolton or Wigan. There are no matches without at least one Premier League side, which means we are not guaranteed a low-league team in the quarter finals (hopefully at least one can make it through). The full draw is below:
West Ham vs. Burnley
Notts County / Man City vs. Aston Villa
Stoke City vs. Brighton
Birmingham City vs. Sheff Wed
Leyton Orient vs. Arsenal
Everton or Chelsea vs. Reading
Manchester United vs. Crawley Town
Fulham / Tottenham vs. Bolton / Wigan
