Blue Square Premier League big spenders Crawley Town have drawn the plum tie in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a glamour trip to Old Trafford to play Manchester United.
Crawley progressed to the fifth round for the first time in their history by defeating Torquay United in an ill tempered tie on the south coast. Crawley have been the big spenders in non league football as they strive to reach their ultimate goal of promotion to the football league.
The tie epitomises all that is great about the FA Cup with all the pressure on the giants of Manchester United. United have struggled in the last few years with lower-league opposition, having been forced into replays against Exeter City and Burton Albion.
The other glamour tie sees Arsenal travel across London to Brisbane Road, where they will be entertained by Russell Slade's Leyton Orient.
Chelsea are the current holders of the FA Cup
