FA Cup 5th Round Draw

The draw for the 5th round of the FA Cup was held Sunday as an exciting weekend of matches wound down. There are still a few replays to sort out, but here is the draw:


FA Cup Fifth Round

Chelsea vs. Birmingham
Crawley vs. Stoke
Everton vs. Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday
Liverpool vs. Brighton
Millwall or Southhampton vs. Bolton
Norwich vs. Leicester
Stevenage vs. Tottenham
Sunderland or Middlesbrough vs. Arsenal


Interestingly enough, the big clubs all managed to avoid each other in the draw. Only Arsenal could potentially go up against another EPL side. As a Chelsea fan, I'm very nervy about playing last year's League Cup Champs Birmingham. Also, former Colorado Rapids manager Gary Smith will be leading the Stevenage side against Spurs. That will be a HUGE deal for them.
