Second-tier FA Cup giant-killers Plymouth Argyle drew a fifth-round game at reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Monday as a reward for their shock 1-0 defeat of Liverpool at the weekend.

Holders Manchester United will host Fulham at Old Trafford in one of at least three all-Premier League clashes, with League Cup finalists Newcastle United at home to top-tier rivals Brighton & Hove Albion.

Bournemouth will host Wolverhampton Wanderers in another all-top-flight encounter.

Struggling Plymouth caused one of the great upsets of the FA Cup on Sunday when they beat a second-string Liverpool 1-0, ending the Premier League leaders' hopes of a quartet of trophies this season.

Aston Villa, who ended Tottenham Hotspur's hopes on Sunday, host second-tier Cardiff City.

Crystal Palace, who defeated Doncaster on Monday, will host South London rivals Millwall in a mouthwatering clash.

The fifth-round matches will be played on the weekend of March 1st and 2nd.
