Liverpool are on a collision course with
Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round, while holders Manchester City
will travel to Sheffield Wednesday following the draw on Monday.
There is also the potential of a reunion for Wayne Rooney
with Manchester United as the former England striker’s new club
Derby County will host the Red Devils if they get through their
fourth-round replay against Northampton Town.
Liverpool, who have been fielding a second-string side in
the competition, also have a replay with Shrewsbury Town at
Anfield with the winners visiting Frank Lampard’s Chelsea.
There will definitely be an all-Premier League tie as either
Southampton or Tottenham Hotspur host Norwich City, while
Leicester City will meet Coventry City or Birmingham City in
another Midlands derby.
Holders Manchester City travel to Championship outfit
Sheffield Wednesday, and Sheffield United will also face second-
tier opposition in the form of Reading or Cardiff City.
The ties will be played in the week commencing March 3.
