FA Cup fifth round draw: Chelsea to face Man Utd

Holders Chelsea have been drawn to face Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round in a repeat of last year's final.

In the stand out tie of the round, Maurizio Sarri’s side will take on Ole Gunnar Solskaer’s improving Red Devils at Stamford Bridge next month.

United have won all eight of Solskaer’s matches in charge since the Norwegian succeeded Jose Mourinho last month, including an impressive 3-1 victory against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in the fourth round on Friday.
