Arsenal, who are bidding to end eight years without a trophy, must beat Swansea away to have any hope of landing the FA Cup.

Arsene Wenger's side lost 2-0 at home to the Welsh side on Saturday as fans lose patience with the manager.

And they now face a tricky trip to the Liberty Stadium in the third round.

Liverpool will be away to non-league opposition - the winner of the replay between Lincoln and Mansfield.

We meet again: Arsenal will travel to Swansea

Manchester United travel to West Ham, while holders Chelsea have been draw away to Southampton.

There is a repeat of the 1987 FA Cup final as Andre Villas-Boas' Tottenham will host Mark Robins' Coventry.

Championship table toppers Crystal Palace will play hosts to Premier League Stoke.

There will be plenty of Italian interest at The Etihad as Roberto Mancini's Manchester City will host Gianfranco Zola's high flying Watford.

Play it again: Harrogate and Hastings will replay for the right to face Middlesbrough

Two of the lowest teams left in the draw, Harrogate Town and Haistings, have Middlesbrough as the prize for whoever wins their replay.

Of the other non-league teams, Barrow or Macclesfield will be at home to Cardiff and Luton will host Wolves.

While Everton face a tricky trip to either Hereford or Cheltenham.

League One Crawley, who have made the fifth round for the past two years, will have to get past struggling Premier League side Reading if they are to embark on another cup run.

Ronnie Moore's Tranmere will test themselves away at Nigel Clough's Derby and Nottingham Forest will play Oldham.

There are a number of all Championship ties with Charlton playing Huddersfield, Barnsley playing Burnley, Blackburn host Bristol City while Leeds will play Bolton.

I always had a soft spot for Coventry as George Curtis's sister was the first girl I ever snogged, i was 5 ish and a spurs fan then, u know family thingy grooooooooooan!!!!, the soft spot lasted until that god-dam awful day at wembley when we lost to them. I still remember getting home from the game and the g/f was shocked how upset I was!!! 4 sure we're gonna beat them, lets hope they put up a good show and they do something positive with the gate money.

Ps famous ish coventry fan, the enemy's lead singer tom clarke he's got a season ticket, sad, sad boy.......

Happy with west ham away, should be a cracking game, big sam has got the hammers playing well so expect a tough game, but i think we will just have enough to get through.

Well let me see, about four years ago, you played Wet Spam at Pikey and i had 1000 baht on them. They won , 2-1 i think and i'd bet on them again in this cup tie...........unless you get a "penalty' again or HW or Halsey's reffing then i'd obviously abstain.

Lincoln v Liverpool catches the eye for me switching to my neutral hat and hoping that FA Cup turns up the usual shock result (which unfortunately a Swansea win over Arsenal would no longer be ).

Look on the bright side. It looks like Arsenals season will be over before christmas so you can relax and enjoy the second half of the season.

yeah TBH no one expected coventy to win , spurs were laden with top draw players and were duly running rampant 4 the first 25? min and should really have had the game sealed. ive heard david pleat saying he sort of blames himself for the defeat,he said he failed to notice how much that man Bennett and co were exposing and grinding our lhs down in particular our full back mitchell thomas , he said he should have noticed it and he reckoned if he'd had,and sorted it we probably wouldn't have lost. but hey ho thats life

As for goerge curtis, for holidays bac in the day my folks used to rent the same caravan for ?? years and george's parents rented next door at the same time, george would play or train?, 4 Coventry then come down for a few days, but his younger sister was always there, can still remember the first snog on the beach well !!!

One Gary Mabbutt, one Garry Mabutt!

On paper you should have destroyed us as the talent in your team was phenomenal..............however, we put in a proper teams performance and grinded out a superb win it what will be the only major success we have in my lifetime!!!!!!!

£20 quid a ticket at your place for this one and only £21 on the rattler return so there will be a fair few Cov making the trek for this one.

Thanks.

Although, things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

Even rumours of SISU moving us out of the Ricoh to play in Rushden and Diamonds ground due to the arguments with ACL (who own the Ricoh) regarding the rent and non-payment of it.

Think it's out of us and Portsmouth who go tits up first!!
