Arsenal and Manchester City's quadruple hopes survived the weekend, and now, both clubs learned their FA Cup fifth-round opponents at the live draw on Monday night.

The Gunners beat Wigan 4-0 at the Emirates on Sunday, while the Cityzens saw off fourth-tier club Salford at the Etihad. The 2-0 scoreline didn't tell the whole story, but it was sufficient to keep Manchester City in all four competitions.

Mansfield has been the giant-slayer in this year's competition, and their 2-1 comeback win over Burnley at Turf Moor has only earned them a date with the tournament's record holder, Arsenal.

Manchester City will visit Newcastle in search of a possible quarterfinal ticket, and it's increasingly likely to be another tale of Arsenal vs. Manchester City in the FA Cup as well, with both clubs squaring up in the League Cup final next month.

The Magpies need another piece of silverware after their League Cup success over Liverpool last season. The taste of Wembley must be fresh on their lips, and they will give everything against Pep Guardiola's side in this fixture.

Championship side Wrexham will host Chelsea in the Fifth Round; it is the first time the heavily backed side will feature at this stage of the tournament. They can dream, but they must do things the hard way against the Blues.

Reigning Premier League champions Liverpool will not be defending their crown successfully this season, as they sit too far away from the top of the log; however, they can find solace in the FA Cup, and a trip to Wolves awaits them in the Fifth Round.

Wolves must be wondering if they need this distraction, but as they're probably doomed and just awaiting confirmation of their relegation, they might need to give their all in the FA Cup.

Elsewhere in the Fifth Round, Fulham will host another London side, Southampton. The Saints can be a lot of problems, but the Lilywhites will be the firm favorite for this one. Sunderland will be away to the winner of the clash between Port Vale and Bristol City, while it's an all-EPL clash between West Ham and Brentford.

The final fixture of the Fifth Round sees struggling Leeds United host Championship side Norwich City. All fixtures will be played in the second week of March.
