Chelsea have drawn against Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup, while Shrewsbury Town will face Manchester United.
Holders Arsenal, meanwhile, will take on Hull City in a repeat of the 2014 final, with the Gunners having triumphed at Wembley 3-2 courtesy of goals from Santi Cazorla, Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey.
It is in fact the third season in a row that Arsene Wenger’s side will meet the Tigers, with the north Londoners having knocked out Hull at the third-round stage last season as Per Mertesacker and Alexis Sanchez scored in a 2-0 home win.
Elsewhere in the draw, Liverpool or West Ham, who replay on February 9 following Saturday’s 0-0 draw, will travel to Championship side Blackburn Rovers, while Tottenham host Crystal Palace in an all-Premier League affair.
