FA Cup draw: Wigan to host Manchester City in repeat of 2013 final
The tombola is over.
The draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup took place on Monday, and, while no stand-out tie was produced, Wigan Athletic drew Manchester City in a repeat of the 2013 final. The game will be played at DW Stadium, and the Citizens might need a hose to put out the fire that is Will Grigg.
Elsewhere, Coventry City, the only club from League Two guaranteed a place in the fifth round, will invade Brighton & Hove Albion. Newport County, who came close to knocking out Tottenham Hotspur at Rodney Parade, will be rewarded with a trip to Millwall or Rochdale if Spurs tumbles out in the replay. Notts County, in the velvet bag after playing out a draw with Swansea City, will take the pitch at Sheffield Wednesday if the Swans can be overcome.
The ties will be played across the weekend of Feb. 17-18. Here's the full list:
Sheffield Wednesday vs. Notts County or Swansea City
West Bromwich Albion vs. Southampton
Chelsea vs. Hull City
Leicester City vs. Sheffield United
Huddersfield Town or Birmingham City vs. Manchester United
