Underdogs looking for Cup revenge

Plymouth have been handed a home tie in the FA Cup quarter-finals today after drawing Premiership bottom side Watford.

Plymouth have been handed a home tie in the FA Cup quarter-finals today after drawing Premiership bottom side Watford.

The Coca-Cola Championship outfit will fancy their chances of reaching the semi-finals for the first time in 23 years against the club that denied them a trip to Wembley in 1984.

West Brom’s reward, if they are able to complete an upset of Middlesbrough, could be a home tie against Manchester United, providing the Premiership leaders overcome Reading in their own fifth-round replay.

After yesterday’s thrashing of Fulham, Tottenham have been handed another London derby against Premiership champions and bogey side Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, in what is surely the tie of the round.

The final tie sees the winners of the fifth-round replay between Arsenal and Blackburn host Manchester City.

FA Cup draw:

Middlesbrough/West Brom v Man Utd/Reading

Arsenal/Blackburn v Man City

Chelsea v Tottenham

Plymouth v Watford

Ties to be played over the weekend commencing March 10 and 11.
