Coppell to make United cup return

Adjust font size:

LONDON, England -- Leaders Manchester United will meet promoted Reading in one of three all-Premier League clashes in the FA Cup fifth round drawn on Monday.

Arsenal or Bolton Wanderers will host Blackburn Rovers, and Fulham are at home to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a third top-flight battle.

Reading's draw means a return to Old Trafford for manager Steve Coppell who played for United from 1975 to 1983 -- winning the FA Cup in 1977.

Coppell's club are in the last 16 of the FA Cup for only the second time in 72 years.

Both their league meetings this season have been close, with United edging it 3-2 at home last month but having to settle for a 1-1 draw at Reading in September.

Chelsea, already through to next month's League Cup final, have enjoyed more cup fortune after a one-sided 3-0 win over third division Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Drawn at home again, they will face either a modest Norwich, who are down in 17th place in the Championship, or a Blackpool side who are below Forest in the third tier.

Middlesbrough, who first have to settle a home replay against third division Bristol City, have the prospect of a home tie against West Bromwich Albion who triumphed 3-0 at Wolverhampton in the fourth round.

Watford also have a home draw against Championship opposition in Ipswich Town as will Manchester City for their northwest derby trip to Preston North End.

At least one Championship side is guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals after Plymouth Argyle were drawn against promotion pacesetters Derby County.

FA Cup fifth round draw:

Chelsea v Blackpool or Norwich City

Watford v Ipswich Town

Preston North End v Manchester City

Plymouth Argyle v Derby County

Manchester United v Reading

Arsenal or Bolton Wanderers v Blackburn Rovers

Bristol City or Middlesbrough v West Bromwich Albion

Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur
