Arsenal to face Middlesbrough in FA Cup fifth round

Holders Arsenal are drawn against Middlesbrough in the fifth round of the FA Cup, while Bradford City will welcome the winners of Sunderland and Fulham's fourth-round replay.

Holders Arsenal have been drawn against Middlesbrough in the fifth round of this season's FA Cup.

The Gunners are regarded by many as favourites to win the competition, but they will be wary of taking on a Boro side that dumped Manchester City out of the Cup in the last round.

Bradford City's reward for beating Chelsea is a home clash against the winners of Sunderland and Fulham's fourth-round replay.

Premier League sides Aston Villa and Leicester City will go head to head at Villa Park, while West Bromwich Albion will host West Ham United.

Meanwhile, Preston North End will face either Cambridge United or Manchester United, Crystal Palace are at home to Liverpool or Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers will take on the winners of Rochdale and Stoke City's tie.
