FA Cup 5th Round Draw: Derby Deja Vu

United will play at Pride Park again, this time in the FA Cup fifth round, after Derby County won the right to host the Reds on Sunday 15 February.

The Rams came from 0-2 down after 14 minutes to triumph 3-2 at the home of East Midlands foes Nottingham Forest - with the winner coming from Kris Commons, scorer of a stunning goal against United at Pride Park in last month's Carling Cup semi-final first leg. Rob Hulse and Paul Green were also on target for Nigel Clough's team.

The Reds went on to lift the trophy after last facing Derby County in the FA Cup. Norman Whiteside scored the only goal at the old Baseball Ground in the fifth round of 1983.
