Although the next stage in the FA Cup is the quarter finals, meant for eight competitors, there are still twelve teams in contention for FA Cup success. But only three are from outside the Premiership and aren't yet guaranteed a place in the quarter finals.
Tony Pulis was hoping for a nice home draw after Stoke's convincing win against Brighton yesterday. Well they got their wish and will play the winner of tomorrow's match between West Ham and Burnley at the Britannia. Manchester City earned their fifth round place today which sees them face Aston Villa at Eastlnads. The winner of that tie will then have a home quarter final tie again either Everton or Burnley who play their fifth round tie on March 1st. Birmingham already have a League Cup final next Sunday at Wembley, they will face Bolton at St.Andrew's for a chance to get to Wembley for the semis. After Manchester United crawled into the draw they will be at Old Trafford again, this time to face either Arsenal or Leyton Orient who have a replay to look forward to. Tie will be played on 12th/13th March
