Holders Manchester City head to fellow Premier League side Luton Town in a tricky test, while Wolves host Brighton in a tasty all-PL clash.
Red-hot Bournemouth host high-flying second-tier side Leicester City, while quadruple chasing Liverpool (Premier League, Europa League, League Cup and FA Cup) host second-tier Southampton or Watford as the Saints forced a replay and their unbeaten run stretches to 22 games. Manchester United will head to Bristol City or Nottingham Forest after they got past fourth-tier Newport County 4-2 (they went 2-0 up and were dragged back to 2-2 before taking care of business) in the fourth round.
Where will the upsets be?
Sixth-tier Maidstone United head to either Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry City in the fifth round after they stunned Ipswich Town to reach the last 16. George Elokobi’s minnows will definitely fancy their chances of pushing either of those Championship teams all the way after their incredible win at Portman Road.
Elsewhere, the winner of the replay between Aston Villa vs Chelsea will fancy their chances of getting to the quarterfinals as they will host the winner of Plymouth vs Leeds who have also gone to a replay.
