Coventry City will take on the current Premier League leaders over the weekend of January 25 and 26 after they overcame Barnsley on Saturday (Jan 4) at Oakwell with two late goals from Frank Moussa and Leon Clarke to win 2.1.

The draw could potentially be a significant financial boost for the club with thousands of fans sets make the trip to London for the tie. The tie between two former winners could also be potentially televised, the second time this season Sky Blues have been on TV in the FA Cup after their 3.1 win over AFC Wimbledon was shown on BT Sport.

Despite a strong record in the competition, Arsenal have not lifted the trophy since 2005 while Coventry were knocked out in the third round last season when the Sky Blues took on Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
