The FA Cup appears more open than in years gone by after holders Liverpool became the latest top Premier League to crash out of the competition.

Arsenal, who have won the FA Cup a record 14 times, and eight-time winners Chelsea are also out.

Seven non-Premier League clubs were in the hat for the last-16 draw, including non-league side Wrexham and League Two outfit Grimsby Town.

The fifth-round ties will be played on the week commencing February 27, with the 2023 FA Cup final set to be held at Wembley on June 3.

Premier League champions Man City will visit Championship club Bristol City while 12-time winners Man United face either Derby County or West Ham, who play on Monday night.
