Breaking: FA Cup Pits Former Sligo Rovers Boss Against Pep Guardiola

As we come closer to the business end of the FA Cup, at least one representative from each of England's top four leagues were present in this evening's fifth-round draw.

With League Two's Coventry City already certain of their place, Notts County and Newport County are two further sides in the lowest part of the football league straddling the fifth-round; replays with Swansea City and Tottenham Hotspur to come.

As the holders Arsenal already dumped out in the third-round by Nottingham Forest, the cup will travel to a new destination this season. Perhaps the greatest intrigue lies with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and whether the FA Cup could be added to an unthinkable quadruple.

They will now face off against Paul Cook's Wigan Athletic in a replay of the 2013 final.

For Jose Mourinho's Manchester United, the FA Cup will most likely offer a chance of a much-needed trophy now that the Premier League looks well and truly beyond them. Having already overcome Derby County and Yeovil Town, their good-fortune would appear to have kept.
