Wigan rewarded for FA Cup heroics against West Ham with Manchester City clash in a repeat of the 2013 final

Wigan Athletic have been rewarded for their FA Cup heroics with a lucrative Fifth Round draw at home to Manchester City.

The League One leaders, having dumped West Ham and Bournemouth out of this season's competition will face Pep Guardiola's rampant side at the DW Stadium.

It was the last of eight ties drawn by Ruud Gullit and Robbie Savage and serves up a repeat of the FA Cup final in 2013 when Wigan beat City 1-0 at Wembley.

'When it got down to the last four I was thinking Coventry at home might be a good chance to reach the quarter-finals,' said chairman David Sharpe, who took a call from manager Paul Cook as soon as the draw was complete.
