FA Cup fifth-round draw: champions Man City get Premier League opposition

Posted by

The FA Cup fifth-round draw has taken place with some big ties emerging in the next round of football’s oldest competition. 

The story of the fourth round was undoubtedly semi-professional football club Maidstone United defeating Championship side Ipswich Town 2-1 and the cup underdogs would have been hoping for a huge club to play in the next chapter of their story. They will travel to either Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry next which should be a good day out for their fans.

The biggest draw could possibly be Wrexham vs Newcastle if the League Two side can get passed Blackburn Rovers on Monday night. With the Hollywood story potentially writing an incredible chapter by knocking out the Premier League big boys.
