by David Wilson

Stoke City’s reward for knocking out Arsenal is a trip to the Eastlands to play Manchester City.

The draw also put together a couple of huge local derbies. One of them sees Portsmouth travel to bitter rivals Southampton.

Carling Cup finalists Aston Villa will travel to Crystal Palace while Spurs will visit Owen Coyle and his Bolton team.

With Arsenal Manchester United and Liverpool already out of the tournament, Chelsea fans must be feeling very confident about going to Wembley again. In the 5th round they will face Cardiff at home. It will be a massive upset for Cardiff to win here.

In other games Fulham will play Notts County and Derby get Birmingham City at home.

All fifth-round ties will be played over the weekend of February 13 and 14.
