FA Cup draw LIVE: Latest updates as fourth and fifth-round fixtures are revealed
The draw for the fourth and fifth rounds of the FA Cup takes place this evening as the final fixture from the third round is completed.
National League side Stockport County will look to spring an upset against Premier League outfit West Ham in an 8pm (GMT) kick-off, to see who will join the other remaining teams in the competition in the fourth round. Stockport will take inspiration from League Two’s Crawley Town defeating top-flight team Leeds 3-0 on Sunday, while National League side Chorley beat a Championship club in Wayne Rooney’s coronavirus-hit Derby County.
Elsewhere, the Premier League’s bottom side West Brom were another top-flight casualty in the third round, beaten by Blackpool on penalties, while Brighton survived their own penalty shootout against Newport County on Sunday evening – and Burnley emerged victorious from a similar situation against MK Dons. English champions Liverpool saw off an Aston Villa team comprising youth players after a Covid-19 outbreak at their training ground, while holders Arsenal defeated Newcastle and Wolves beat Crystal Palace as Manchester United, Man City and Chelsea all progressed, as did Everton, Leicester, Sheffield United and Fulham. Follow live updates below as the fixtures for the fourth and fifth round of the FA Cup are revealed.
