Another one of the big guns is set to go out before the quarter-finals
Chelsea drew Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup tonight, meaning another Premier League powerhouse will be out of the competition before the quarter-finals.
Chelsea cruised through the fourth round, beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, and will be playing at home again in the next round against the in-form Manchester United.
United meanwhile got their second away draw in a row, although they did not struggle to sweep Arsenal aside this weekend, blitzing through the Gunners to a comfortable 3-1 victory on Friday night.
In other interesting draws, AFC Wimbledon will host Millwall, after beating West Ham and Everton in the fourth round respectively.
Crystal Palace will travel north to play League One side Doncaster Rovers, while the winner of Shrewsbury vs Wolves' replay will travel to Ashton Gate to play Bristol City.
One of Middlesbrough or Newport County will host Premier League champions Manchester City, in what could be the ultimate David vs Goliath tie.
The draw in full is as follows:
1 Bristol City v Shrewsbury Town or Wolverhampton Wanderers
2 AFC Wimbledon v Millwall
3 Doncaster Rovers v Crystal Palace
4 Middlesbrough or Newport County v Manchester City
5 Chelsea v Manchester United
6 Swansea City v Barnet or Brentford
7 Portsmouth or Queens Park Rangers v Watford
8 Brighton & Hove Albion or West Bromwich Albion v Derby County.
Will the Magic of the Cup™ do its job in the fifth round and cause more upsets? We'll have to wait until the weekend of the 15th-18th February to see.
