Swans or Cottagers to face Red Devils

Swansea City will be rewarded with a home tie against reigning European and World club champions Manchester United if they can overcome Fulham in the FA Cup Fifth Round replay on February 24th. The Swans were unlucky to only get a 1-1 draw against Roy Hodgson's side on Saturday and manager Robert Martinez will be hoping that his men can go one better at Craven Cottage to set up a Quarter Final meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson's United, who overcame Derby County 4-1 at Pride Park. Elsewhere, Everton will face West Ham United or Middlesbrough in the only all-Premier League tie of the last eight after they beat Aston Villa 3-1 at Goodison Park. Gus Hiddink's Chelsea have been drawn away to either Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City, who also face a replay. The final tie of the round will see Sheffield United or Hull City face Arsenal, Cardiff City or Burnley. Arsenal and Cardiff replay their Fourth Round tie tonight (February 16th) after the original game was postponed due to bad weather. Arsenal are favourites in the football betting to go through and face Owen Coyle's side for a place in the last eight.
