Premier League leaders Manchester City will travel to second-tier Championship side Peterborough United while Chelsea are away at Luton Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup after most of the top-flight sides avoided each other in Sundayโ€™s draw.

City came from behind to beat Fulham 4-1 while Chelsea defeated Plymouth Argyle 2-1 in extra time on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur, who saw off Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1, must travel to Middlesbrough, who beat Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford.
In an all-Premier League clash, Southampton host West Ham United who survived a potential upset at the hands of non-league side Kidderminster Harriers with last-gasp goals in normal time and extra time.
The winners of Sundayโ€™s game between Liverpool and Cardiff City will host Norwich City while defending champions Leicester City must first see off Nottingham Forest, with the winners hosting Huddersfield Town.
The fifth-round games will be played in the week commencing Feb. 28.
