Arsenal in FA Cup showdown with United

Arsenal were today drawn away to Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Despite there being only six Premier League teams in the draw, the top two were paired together for the tie of the round.

They last met in the final at the Millennium Stadium in 2005, when Arsenal won on penalties - their last trophy.

Chelsea were handed a relatively easy home draw when they were paired with League One Huddersfield.

Liverpool, who had a scare against Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday, have also been given a home tie against Championship side Barnsley.

The other two Premier League teams were both drawn away, Middlesbrough at Sheffield United and Portsmouth at Preston.

FA Cup 5th-round draw

Bristol Rovers v Southampton
Cardiff v Wolves
Sheffield Utd v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v Barnsley
Manchester Utd v Arsenal
Preston v Portsmouth
Coventry v West Brom
Chelsea v Huddersfield

To be played: 16/17 February
