Blues drawn away at Hillsborough in last sixteen clash
Manchester City will face Sheffield Wednesday in the fifth round of the FA Cup, following the draw on Monday evening.
Pep Guardiola's side qualified for the last sixteen after a comfortable 4-0 win against Fulham, whilst the Owls defeated QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road.
The game will be played at Hillsborough in the week commencing 2nd March. For the first time in the history of the FA Cup, all fifth-round ties will be played midweek in an attempt to alleviate fixture congestion. There will be no replays, so extra time and penalties will be used if teams are level after 90 minutes.
