FA Cup 5th Round Draw | Huddersfield/Birmingham v Manchester United

Good day for us. Our away fans are usually on fire in the FA cup. Would want us to play Huddersfield rather than Birmingham as Huddersfield has concentrate on the PL rather than the FA Cup and could be a good away trip for our fans and we can completely open them up with our quality. FA cup games against the smaller PL sides are less trickier than the sides in the championship because they are more up for it. Also, better pitches.

United, City, Chelsea, Leicester, Spurs all to go through and again avoid each other in the Q/F. Fixed.
And how would that happen :p. You've listed 5 teams and the quarter finals well, are four games only....

Don't think they could have picked a more boring draw if they tried. Guess they can hype up the Wigan vs City rematch.
No stand out ties that really grab the imagination.
Suppose Wigan v City is about the best, but then it could mean some big clashes in the Quarters & Semis

We play Huddersfield at home two weeks before for the League, so as long as we trash them then, we should be ok even away for the FA Cup. Besides, hope the game is put one or two days before, so we can properly rest for Sevilla away.

guessing this will be on TV given the lack of any great games in the draw

What a drab round. At least on paper. Though the same could have been said for the fourth round and that turned out pretty decent.

Would expect City/Chelsea/Utd/Spur to make their way through fairly unscathed barring being drawn together.

I'd like to play Birmingham. idk about you guys, but I like to see the FA cup draw us against teams we don't play regularly. There's nothing less inspiring than an FA cup round where you play Stoke or West Brom or someone like that. The Yeovil game was a bit rubbish, but sometimes the smaller teams really give it a good go.
