FA Cup Fifth-Round Draw: Newcastle United F.C. to Host Manchester City F.C. in Standout Tie

The FA Cup fifth-round draw has produced a series of compelling fixtures, highlighted by an all-Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s side will travel to St James’ Park in a repeat of one of this season’s League Cup semi-finals, setting up what promises to be one of the ties of the round.

Elsewhere, Arsenal F.C. will make the trip to League One outfit Mansfield Town F.C.. The third-tier side earned their place with a memorable 2–1 victory over Burnley F.C. at Turf Moor and are now rewarded with a glamour tie against the 14-time FA Cup winners and current Premier League leaders.

Premier League strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. face a stern test as they host Liverpool F.C., while Brentford F.C. travel to West Ham United F.C.. Brentford progressed courtesy of an own goal in their 1–0 victory away to sixth-tier Macclesfield Town F.C., who had earlier stunned holders Crystal Palace F.C. in the previous round.

Championship side Wrexham A.F.C. welcome eight-time winners Chelsea F.C., while Fulham F.C. entertain Southampton F.C..

In an all-second-tier contest, Leeds United F.C. host Norwich City F.C..

Sunderland A.F.C. face a second successive away fixture, having been drawn against either Port Vale F.C. or Bristol City F.C.. Their fourth-round tie has been postponed until 3 March due to a waterlogged pitch.
