League One Stevenage have been drawn against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fifth round as a reward for reaching the last 16 for the first time.
Brighton will meet Liverpool at Anfield after beating Premier League Newcastle in the previous round. Chelsea host Birmingham, with League Two Crawley Town handed a tough home game against Stoke. Norwich take on Leicester, while Everton welcome Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday to Goodison Park. Bolton will fancy their chances of making the sixth round as they travel to Millwall or Southampton.
There is only one potential all-Premier League clash with the winners of the replay between Sunderland and Middlesbrough, who drew on Sunday, drawn against Arsenal, who beat Aston Villa 3-2 in a thrilling clash at the Emirates.
Crawley Tow, who are the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, beat Hull on Saturday and will be hoping to create an even bigger shock against Tony Pulis’ men.
“This is the first time we have faced Premier League opposition at the Broadfield Stadium in a competitive fixture and I’m sure the ground will be packed. It’s another wonderful occasion for the club, the players and the fans and we look forward to welcoming Tony Pulis and his side here next month” their chief executive Alan Williams said.
Brighton gave Kenny Dalglish’s Liverpool a scare before losing 2-1 in the Carling Cup in September, and Liverpool fans have to be dreaming of another trip down Wembley Way this season.
