Football Association Cup: Fifth Round Draw

Chelsea v Birmingham City
Crawley Town v Stoke City
Everton v Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Liverpool v Brighton
Millwall or Southampton v Bolton Wanderers
Norwich City v Leicester City
Stevenage v Tottenham Hotspur
Sunderland or Middlesbrough v Arsenal

All the games will take place on February 18 at 7am PST.

The fifth round of the FA Cup is notable for the lack of Premier League match ups, with only a possible Sunderland/Arsenal tie if Sunderland can with their replay with Middlesbrough on the road. That tie is less exciting than two other interesting matches. Tottenham drew League One club Stevenage, recently taken over by former Colorado Rapids head coach Gary Smith, but will have to travel. Crawley Town was given a much easier draw than last year's game against Manchester United at Old Trafford, this year hosting a much less intimidating Stoke City.
