Stoke to face Arsenal

The game is due to take place on the weekend of January 8th/9th.

The draw will certainly please the chairman who is due a windfall from the game that will take place at highbury. Whether Stoke will face 1st team stars such as Henry, Viera and Cole remains to be seen but it is certainly Stoke's toughest test of the season and the chances are slight for getting through to the next round!

The last time City took on Arsenal at highbury was in 1996 when they lost 5-2.
