The fifth round of the FA Cup takes place this coming weekend as more teams attempt to claim famous giant-killing results.
In the third round, non-league Macclesfield produced arguably the biggest shock in the tournament's long history by eliminating holders Crystal Palace, before falling in a heartbreaker to Brentford. Two League One sides still remain in Mansfield Town and Port Vale, although both now have to face Premier League opponents.
Big Premier League sides such as Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United were knocked out early, but the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all still alive and bidding to progress to the quarterfinal round.
Those fixtures will take place in the early part of March. Below are the key details on the draw for that phase of the tournament.
