Stoke up next in the FA Cup

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Chelsea have been drawn against Stoke City in the FA Cup 4th Round.

The tie, scheduled to be played on the weekend of the 25th and 26th of January, will be played at Stamford Bridge and - typically - is the round's only all-Premier League fixture.

Arsenal have been drawn at home to League One Coventry City, whilst Swansea (victors over Manchester United) face an away day trip against any of Birmingham City, Bristol Rovers or Crawley Town. Manchester City must beat Blackburn in a 3rd Round replay at the Etihad, but should they do so they will face Bristol City or Watford in their own stadium.

Elsewhere, Everton face a trip to Stevenage and the victors of the replay between Fulham and Norwich will have an away fixture against Sheffield United; 2-1 conquerors of Aston Villa yesterday.
