When is the FA Cup quarter-final draw and how can I watch it

The FA Cup is back this week, with eight fifth-round ties taking place – one of which has already been completed.

Monday night saw Coventry eliminate Maidstone United, winning 5-0, and Tuesday sees three more games take place (Bournemouth vs Leicester, Blackburn vs Newcastle, Luton vs Man City) before four more on Wednesday (Chelsea vs Leeds, Forest vs Man United, Wolves vs Brighton, Liverpool vs Southampton).

The teams who emerge victorious this week will find themselves in the quarter-finals and therefore just one step away from Wembley, with the semi-finals and final taking place under the arch as per.
