7.17pmSides like West Ham and Crystal Palace that might not usually have a good chance in these sort of competitions will be hoping for a favourable draw tonight given just how many of the big boys have gone out so far. If Arsenal, United or Liverpool draw each other as well, even better for the fringe clubs.

7.14pmThe draw will be made by Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker and TV presenter Alex Jones in a few minutes. Lineker has just revealed on 'The One Show' that this is the first time he's ever made the draw, despite being one of the country's biggest sports presenters.

7.09pmThere was also an impressive result on Friday night as League Two Cambridge United held the likes of Di Maria and Falcao to earn a replay at Old Trafford. Not many people would have believed you if you'd said that that wouldn't be the most impressive result of the weekend on Friday night!

7.06pmThe two biggest stories of the weekend were surely Bradford City and Middlesbrough's victories at Chelsea and Manchester City. The Bantams of League One remarkably came from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at Stamford Bridge, while Boro saw off City 2-0 at the Etihad. Unbelievable scenes.

7.03pmMost would expect to see the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all present, but holders Arsenal are the only one of those seven teams guaranteed a place in the fifth round!

7.01pmEvening all! The FA Cup fifth-round draw is coming up shortly and it's one of the most interesting last 16s that I can remember.
