LONDON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Swansea City's reward for knocking holders Portsmouth out of the FA Cup is a home tie against another Premier League side, Fulham, following Sunday's draw for the fifth round.

The Championship (second division) side were deserved 2-0 winners at Fratton Park on Saturday and will fancy their chances of another upset on home soil.

Manchester United, Cup winners a record 11 times, travel to either Derby County or Nottingham Forest of the Championship, while Chelsea are also away, at Watford.

The only definite all-Premier League clash is at Upton Park where West Ham United face Middlesbrough.

Liverpool or Everton, who drew 1-1 at Anfield on Sunday, will be at home to Doncaster Rovers or Aston Villa.

Last year's runners up Cardiff City or 10-times winners Arsenal, goalless in Wales on Sunday, will face West Bromwich Albion or Burnley.

The games will be played over the weekend of Feb. 13/14/15.
