The FA Cup fifth round draw takes place tonight and the competition is really starting to open up. Holders Manchester United reached the FA Cup fifth round thanks to a controversial late winner from Harry Maguire against Leicester, while Manchester City remain alive after coming from behind to beat Leyton Orient and thereby avoid a huge upset.
Still, the magic of FA Cup did throw up one major surprise this weekend. Championship strugglers Plymouth shocked Premier League leaders Liverpool at Home Park, ruining Arne Slot’s hopes for a stunning quadruple.
Fulham are also in the hat after beating Wigan 2-1, while Crystal Palace could tonight join them if they can overcome Doncaster. Newcastle and Aston Villa also remain in the mix, with a trip to Wembley now starting to come into sight for those still involved in the tournament.
