Stoke have been rewarded for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round win over Arsenal by being drawn against Barclays Premier League heavyweights Manchester City.

Tony Pulis' side pulled off the shock of the round by beating Arsene Wenger's side 3-1 at the Britannia Stadium.

They will now host City, who beat Scunthorpe, at Eastlands while the other big tie of the round sees Portsmouth travel to bitter south coast rivals Southampton.

The 2008 winners, who came from behind to beat Sunderland, will have to beat their neighbours at St Mary's to make it through to the last eight of the competition.

Leeds will once again face Premier League opposition if they win their replay with Tottenham Hotspur after they were drawn against Owen Coyle's Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.

Holders Chelsea will be confident of securing a place in the last eight after they were handed a home draw against Coca Cola Championship side Cardiff.

Aston Villa will play Wolves at Molineux in a Midlands derby providing that Mick McCarthy's side overcome Crystal Palace in a replay after the two sides drew 2-2.

Notts County face a tricky test at Fulham if they beat Wigan in their fourth round replay while Birmingham will travel to Derby.

And there will be at least one Championship side in the last eight of the competition after Reading were rewarded for their fine win over Burnley with a home tie against West Brom.

All fifth round ties will be played over the weekend of February 13th and 14th.
