Manchester United will host Arsenal at Old Trafford in the 5th round (last 16) of the FA cup. The Reds may feel slightly unfortunate to draw such tough opponenets this early in the cup. Chelsea and Liverpool, respectively, will host Huddersfield and Barnsley. Currently, Arsenal are 2nd in the English Premiership, behind Manchester United only on goal difference.

Manchester United defeated Newcastle 6-0 to move to the top of the Premiership, leading Arsenal only on goal differential. All the goals came in the 2nd half. Cristiano Ronaldo had a hat-trick for the Red Devils, along with a pair from Tevez, and a strike from Ferdinand.
