FA Cup fifth-round draw time, TV channel and all 16 ball numbers
The world's oldest cup competition is entering the latter stages, with the FA Cup fifth-round fixtures set to get underway at the end of February.
Before the ties get underway, there is the exciting prospect of a draw to be conducted - and, of course, fourth-round replays to be contested. Manchester United and Tottenham are amongst the so-called 'big six' teams to have booked their place in the next round with wins over Reading and Preston respectively.
Meanwhile, Manchester City overcame Arsenal in arguably the tie of the round, with 2021 winners Leicester and Southampton also qualifying for the last-16. There will be one guaranteed League One side left in the competition as Sheffield Wednesday will take on Fleetwood in a replay after the game ended goalless.
