Luton Town will be at home to holders Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round after the draw was made this afternoon.
Having beaten Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park on Saturday, the Hatters take on Pep Guardiola’s side, who defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Friday evening, at Kenilworth Road.
Town have met City, who saw off fierce rivals Manchester United 2-1 at Wembley last season to lift the trophy for the seventh time in their history, seven times in total in the competition.
They lost 2-1 away in round four back in 1936, before beaten by the same scoreline in a fifth round clash two years later. Luton drew 1-1 away in the fourth round in 1953, winning the replay 5-1 at Kenilworth Road, Gordon Turner scoring a hat-trick.
The Hatters were beaten 2-0 in round five in 1955, as they won 3-1 in a fourth round match in 1961, Alec Ashworth with a brace, that fixture coming after the first match had been abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch with City leading 6-2, Dennis Law scoring all six goals.
