LONDON (AFP) - Fulham will host London rivals Tottenham in the fifth round of the FA Cup after the Premiership clubs were drawn against one another.

Elsewhere, the other last 16 ties drawn Monday were generally kind to the remaining Cup favourites with Premiership leaders Manchester United at home to top-flight newboys Reading and Chelsea welcoming either Blackpool or Norwich City to Stamford Bridge.

The winners of the fourth round replay between Arsenal and Bolton will face another Premiership club in Blackburn.

Meanwhile, Championship side Preston North End are at home to fellow north-west team Manchester City - a club Preston boss Paul Simpson represented as a player.

Premiership basement club Watford have been drawn at home to Championship side Ipswich, the 1978 FA Cup winners, while West Brom´s reward for seeing off arch-rivals Wolves is a trip to either Middlesbrough or Bristol City.

The other fifth round clash guarantees at least one Championship side will make it into the quarter-finals with Plymouth at home to Derby.

The fourth round replays take place on February 13 and 14 with fifth round ties set to be played on the weekend of February 17-18.
