Premier League leaders Manchester City have been handed a trip to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fifth round.

Manchester United will travel to either Huddersfield Town or Birmingham City, while Tottenham Hotspur or Newport County have been given an away game at either Millwall or Rochdale.

Chelsea are at home to Hull City, with League Two side Coventry City being handed a journey to the south coast to play Brighton & Hove Albion.

West Bromwich Albion and Southampton will meet at The Hawthorns, while Leicester City have been handed an encounter with Sheffield United at the King Power Stadium.
