League One side Shrewsbury Town face Manchester United
 Bournemouth play Everton, Tottenham host Crystal Palace

Manchester City will play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup fifth round. The two clubs meet again having been drawn together in 2013 and 2014, with City knocking Chelsea out of the competition on both occasions.


Chelsea beat MK Dons 5-1 shortly before the draw to seal their place and after the game the club captain, John Terry, announced that his contract would not be renewed at Stamford Bridge.
Shrewsbury Town, currently 20th in League One, have been handed their first ever meeting with Manchester United and would match their best run in the competition should they knock out the 11-time winners. Fellow third-tier side Peterborough will meet Reading if they can survive a fourth-round replay with West Brom.
The holders, Arsenal, face Hull City at the Emirates, the club they beat in the 2014 final at Wembley and the current Championship leaders. The two other all-Premier League ties are Tottenham’s meeting with Crystal Palace and Everton’s trip to Bournemouth.
The fifth round matches will take place between 19-22 February.

Sanchez fires Arsenal


Arsenal remain on course for a third consecutive FA Cup success after Alexis Sanchez inspired Arsene Wenger's side to a 2-1 fourth-round win over second-tier Burnley on Saturday.
Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur also progressed, but West Bromwich Albion were taken to a replay by third-tier Peterborough United and Liverpool drew 0-0 with West Ham United.

Arsenal remain on course for a third consecutive FA Cup success after Alexis Sanchez inspired Arsene Wenger's side to a 2-1 fourth-round win over second-tier Burnley on Saturday.
Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur also progressed, but West Bromwich Albion were taken to a replay by third-tier Peterborough United and Liverpool drew 0-0 with West Ham United.

Arsenal's win at the Emirates Stadium preserved their hopes of becoming the first team to win three consecutive FA Cups since Blackburn Rovers, who achieved the feat between 1884 and 1886.
"We would love to do it, but there is a long way to go," said Wenger, who gave a debut to Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny and also welcomed back holding midfielder Francis Coquelin.
"For the first 20 minutes we looked quite in control, but when they equalized suddenly you could see energy, commitment, and we had to dig deep to win the game."

Making his first start after two months out with a hamstring injury, Chile star Sanchez teed up Calum Chambers to open the scoring in the 19th minute with a fine shot using the outside of his right foot.
Sam Vokes equalized for Burnley on the half hour with a powerful header, but Arsenal, who made nine changes, claimed victory in the 53rd minute when Sanchez slammed home after a neat team move.
Nigerian starlet Kelechi Iheanacho scored a hat-trick as Manchester City kept alive their dream of an unprecedented quadruple of trophies by easing to a 4-0 win at Aston Villa, last season's beaten finalists.
