FA Cup Could Pit Man United Vs Fulham & Arsenal Vs Burnley

The sixth round draw of the FA Cup threw up a few intriguing ties, though with so many fifth round ties having gone to replay, a lot is yet to be decided...

The FA Cup sixth round draw was made this afternoon and with only three teams qualifying this weekend for the next round of the FA Cup, much of it remains up in the air.

Arsenal or Cardiff City have been handed a home tie against Burnley. Both the Gunners and the Bluebirds are technically still a round behind everyone else as they still have their fourth round replay to settle.

Arsenal will know all about Burnley as the Clarets were the side who dumped the Gunners out of the League Cup earlier in the season with a superb performance against Arsene Wenger's young guns at Turf Moor.

The winners of that game will face either Sheffield United or Hull City, who drew 1-1 at Bramall Lane yesterday.

Swansea City and Fulham have a mouthwatering home tie against Manchester United to play for, and both sides will be doing everything they can in order to meet the eleven time winners of the competition.

United are going for the quadruple this season, having reached the League Cup final and going well in both the Champions League and Premier League so by the time Swansea or Fulham come to play them, their squad could be heavily fatigued, giving either side the opportunity to cause an upset.

Everton, who overcame the challenge of Aston Villa at Goodison Park this afternoon, will face either Middlesbrough or West Ham United, who will play their fifth round replay in the coming weeks.

Finally Chelsea, who came through the fifth round with a Nicolas Anelka hattrick after a scare from Watford, will play Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City, who drew 2-2 at Ewood Park yesterday afternoon.

The FA Cup Sixth Round Draw in full is as follows:

Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City v Chelsea
Swansea City or Fulham v Man United
Cardiff City or Arsenal or Burnley v Sheffield United or Hull City
Everton v West Ham United or Middlesbrough

The sixth round ties are due to be played on Saturday March 7.
