Man City paired with Wigan in FA Cup fifth round draw image

Manchester City face an away trip to League One leaders Wigan Athletic in the fifth round of the FA Cup, while Chelsea host struggling Championship side Hull City.

Pep Guardiola's men beat Cardiff City 2-0 on Sunday to set up a tie with Paul Cook's side, who have a two-point lead at the top of English football's third tier and have already knocked two Premier League sides out of the competition this season.

The Premier League leaders will be hoping to avoid a similar outcome to the 2013 final against the same opposition, when Ben Watson headed Roberto Martinez's Wigan to a late victory against a City side coached by Roberto Mancini.

Meanwhile, Manchester United will travel to take on the winner of next Tuesday's fourth round replay between Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town.

After drawing 1-1 at Newport County on Saturday, Tottenham will have to get the better of the League Two side when they meet again next week to decide who will go on face either Rochdale or Millwall.

West Brom will host Southampton in the round's only confirmed all-Premier League encounter, while Leicester City will host Sheffield United and Swansea must navigate a replay with Notts County on Tuesday February 6 to set up a tie with Sheffield Wednesday.
