Who will Leeds United face in FA Cup fifth round as one more Champions League club guaranteed to go out?

Leeds United will host Daniel Farke's former club Norwich City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Farke said after Sunday's penalty shoot-out win over Birmingham City – his team’s second away game in the season’s competition – he was "dreaming" of a home tie, and the Premier League Whites were paired with his previous English club, now in the Championship.

Leeds last reached the quarter-finals in 2003, the only time they have been in the last eight in 28 years. The only time they have won the trophy was in 1972, the second of three finals in four years.

The Whites are Yorkshire's only remaining representatives in the competition after Hull City lost 4-0 to Chelsea on Friday.

Newcastle United were drawn at home to Manchester City. With Tottenham Hotspur already out, another Champions League side is guaranteed to follow in the fifth round.

League One Mansfield Town, who knocked Sheffield United out in round three, will host quadruple-chasing Arsenal.

Hollywood-owned Wrexham will be at home to Chelsea.
