Man Utd face potential FA Cup tie against Arsenal

Bookmark and Share

Manchester United were handed a potential FA Cup tie against rivals Arsenal in the quarter-final draw.

If the Gunners come through their fifth-round replay with Leyton Orient they will face a trip to Old Trafford to meet Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

Manchester City or Aston Villa will host the winners of Everton-Reading, while Stoke will be at home to either West Ham or Burnley.

In an all-Premier League tie, Bolton will travel to Birmingham.

The quarter-final ties will be played on 12 and 13 March 2011.

Premier League leaders Manchester United scraped into the hat by edging past non-league side Crawley 1-0 in the fifth round.

They last met Arsenal in the FA Cup in 2008 when the Red Devils were 4-0 winners, while Arsene Wenger's side triumphed over United in the 2005 final on penalties.

Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw away to League One side Leyton Orient on Sunday, but Wenger will be hopeful of protecting his record of never having gone out of the Cup to lower league opposition when the sides meet again at the Emirates.

Holders Chelsea were knocked out of the competition in a shoot-out against Everton on Saturday
