The FA Cup fifth round draw has taken place - and it's good news for the Premier League 's big-hitters.

Eight ties will take place on the week commencing Monday 26 February, although there are plenty of fourth-round replays to take place before then. Chelsea are among the clubs needing to play the additional fixture after they were held to a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa on Friday.

Seven-time winners Manchester City need no such replay following their 1-0 win over Tottenham and they've been handed a plum tie against Luton Town. Meanwhile, Liverpool will face Watford or Southampton, while Manchester United will travel to either Bristol City or Nottingham Forest after beating overcome Newport County.

Sixth-tier Maidstone provided one of the great FA Cup shocks after they beat Ipswich Town 2-1 on Saturday - their reward is another Championship away day in the former of Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry City.
