Crawley Town, the lowest-ranked side left in this season’s FA Cup, has been handed a fifth-round match against English Premier League club Stoke.
While third-tier side Stevenage will host eight-time champion Tottenham in the last 16, Crawley of League Two will host last season’s beaten finalist on the weekend of February 18-19.
Crawley beat Hull and Bristol City in the last two rounds and chief executive Alan Williams says: “This is the first time we have hosted Premier League opposition at the Broadfield Stadium … I’m sure the ground will be packed.”
Liverpool’s reward for a 2-1 fourth-round win over traditional rival Manchester United is another home match, this time against a Brighton side that knocked out Premier League club Newcastle on Saturday.
