FOOTBALL: KEEGAN GIVEN TOON MISSION.
Byline: DARREN LEWISKEVIN Keegan earned a mouthwatering date in the FA Cup fifth round when Manchester City were drawn at Newcastle.
Keegan, still an idol on Tyneside from his time as player and then manager, will make a nostalgic return with his First Division leaders.
City earned their place with a stunning 4-1 win at Premiership side Ipswich yesterday on a dramatic day of FA Cup action.
Stuart Pearce, also a former Newcastle favourite, said: "I'm sure we will get a great reception when we go back." Cup favourites Arsenal will fancy their chances of making the quarter-finals in a home clash with the winners of the postponed Gillingham-Bristol Rovers match.
Walsall, who beat Charlton, were rewarded with a home tie with Fulham.
