• Four all-Premier League clashes include Everton v Swansea
• Ties to be played over the weekend of 15/16 February
The Premier League’s top four will all face off in the fifth round of the FA Cup with Manchester City hosting Chelsea as Arsenal taking on Liverpool.
Manuel Pellegrini’s City, winners in 2011 and runners-up to Wigan last year, recovered from two goals down to beat Watford in the fourth round on Saturday and meet Chelsea following the London club’s slender 1-0 victory over Stoke.
Ten-time winners Arsenal, currently top of the Premier League, will host Brendan Rodgers’s Liverpool after the top-flight sides ousted Coventry and Bournemouth respectively.
There are two ties that are yet to be confirmed, with the two lowest ranked teams left in the competition – League One’s Sheffield United and Preston North End – both earning replays. Fulham recovered from a goal down to secure a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United, while Nottingham Forest could only manage a goalless draw at home to Preston.
