FA Cup Fifth Round Draw

With Avram Grant eyeing a third FA Cup final, West Ham are treated to a home tie against Championship side Burnley. Manchester City will get a home tie against Aston Villa, providing they beat Notts County in the replay at the City of Manchester Stadium. Huth's late winner earns Stoke a nice home tie against Championship Brighton. Birmingham's comeback against Coventry sees them host another Championship side, this time in the shape of Sheffield Wednesday. Leyton Orient get a champagne tie they were hoping for at home to Arsenal. Chelsea or Everton will get the chance of hosting Reading. After Fulham's romp, they are rewarded with a home tie against either Bolton or Wigan. They say the FA Cup is the Cup of Dreams and non-league Crawley Town will certainly agree as their heroics at Torquay have given them a fifth round tie at Old Trafford, where a Manchester United side will be waiting.
