Chelsea face Birmingham; Liverpool renew Brighton rivalry

Crawley welcome Stoke in the fifth round of the FA Cup, while favourites Chelsea host Birmingham, Liverpool take on Brighton, and Tottenham travel to Stevenage. Steve Evans' Crawley, of League Two, got one of the draws they wanted after being pitched against last season's runners-up and Premier League side Stoke at Broadfield Stadium. Andre Villas-Boas' Chelsea overcame QPR in a much-publicised fourth-round game and they will now meet former top-flight rivals Birmingham at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool's reward for Saturday's win over Manchester United will be a home game against Brighton, which sees the two teams renew a rivalry from this season's Carling Cup. League One Stevenage defeated Notts County this weekend and were drawn against Premier League title-challenging Tottenham at Broadhall Way. Sunderland and Middlesbrough require a replay to settle their derby after drawing 1-1 on Sunday and will Arsenal, who dramatically defeated Aston Villa in the late kick-off. Everton play Blackpool or Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich and Leicester meet at Carrow Road, and Bolton will go to the winners of Millwall and Southampton. All ties will played on the weekend of 18th or 19th February.
