FA Cup fifth-round draw: Chelsea travel to Luton as Tottenham face Middlesbrough after Man United upset

Chelsea have been handed a trip to Kenilworth Road to face Luton in the fifth-round of the FA Cup.

A tight win over Plymouth maintained the Blues’ passage towards a second consecutive cup final and they will head to the high-flying Championship team at the start of March.

The Blues’ last trip to Luton came in 1991, a 2-0 defeat in the old Division One, although they did claim a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge in last year’s FA Cup.

Tottenham will face Manchester United’s conquerors, Middlesbrough, at the Riverside having overcome Brighton on Saturday.

Following their last-ditch escape against Kidderminster, West Ham were rewarded with a game away at Southampton.

Manchester City will head to Championship side Peterborough while Crystal Palace take on Stoke. Norwich will travel to Liverpool after their win over Cardiff.

Boreham Wood will travel to Everton if they can overcome Bournemouth on Sunday night, with the day’s other clash between Nottingham Forest and holders Leicester being pitted against Huddersfield.

The fifth-round ties will be played in midweek, with the round starting on Tuesday, March 1.

The eight teams qualifying for the quarter-finals from this round will scoop £180,000 in prize money.
