Sunderland boss Steve Bruce insists this season's priority on
Wearside remains FA Cup glory after their third-round triumph over
Barrow.
The Black Cats' reward for their 3-0 win over the Blue Square
Premier League is a visit to either Fratton Park or the Ricoh Arena
in the next round after Portsmouth and Coventry played out a 1-1
draw on the south coast at the weekend.
Bruce told the club's official website: "Obviously we would
have preferred a home draw, but it's another challenge for us and
we will be giving it our best shot.
"We have already seen what Portsmouth can do this season when
they came up here, and they will be keen to do well in the
competition.
"Coventry obviously did well to get a result there and we
know they are a decent side. They will be strong at home.
"Should Coventry get through, they will have the incentive of
another crack at a Premier League side.
"I have already said the FA Cup is a priority for us this
season, and that won't change."
Pompey, who won the trophy under Harry Redknapp in 2008, left
the Stadium of Light with a 1-1 Premier draw on December 12.
Coventry lie in 17th place in the Championship table.
