The draw for the FA Cup's fifth round was held earlier today. A reunion with Gus Poyet (via Brighton) wasn't in the cards, with Chelsea being drawn against Birmingham.
Not bad. The Championship club will pose a threat, but not to the extent that traveling to Anfield would have. Ties will be held 18/19 February. Check out the draw in full below:
