Non-league Wrexham could face a dream tie at home to eight-time winners Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fifth round if they can get past Sheffield United in a replay, while Manchester City will travel to Championship side Bristol City.

Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with visiting Sheffield United on Sunday.

The National League leaders were only denied a famous victory over the Championship side by a 95th-minute equaliser by John Egan, forcing a replay scheduled for next month.

Spurs, who won 3-0 at Preston North End in the fourth round, face the winners of the replay following Monday's fifth-round draw, while Manchester City, who knocked out Premier League leaders Arsenal in the fourth round, face a trip to Bristol.

Manchester United were handed a home tie against fellow top-flight side West Ham United, who beat Derby County on Monday.

Brighton & Hove Albion, who knocked out holders Liverpool, will visit Championship side Stoke City.

FA Cup fifth-round draw:
Southampton v Luton or Grimsby
Leicester v Blackburn or Birmingham
Stoke v Brighton
Wrexham or Sheff Utd v Tottenham
Fulham or Sunderland v Leeds
Bristol City v Man City
Man Utd v Derby or West Ham
Ipswich or Burnley v Sheff Wed or Fleetwood

Ties to be played during w/c 27 February.
