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.
Jose Mourinho told ITV: "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
Ties will be played on the weekend of February 15-16
