When is FA Cup fifth round draw? Ball numbers for Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool

The magic of the FA Cup is alive and kicking this season.

The world's oldest cup competition has seen a fair few shocks prior to this weekend's clutch of fourth round matches.

And that tally increased further on Friday night when Championship side Middlesbrough dumped out 12-times winners Manchester United.

Boro saw off Ralf Rangnick's side on penalties, with Anthony Elanga blazing over the decisive spot-kick to send Chris Wilder's side into the last-16.

They will be joined by West Ham and Chelsea, who both survived huge scares against Kidderminster and Plymouth respectively.

Both London sides had to negotiate extra-time to secure their place in the hat.

Elsewhere on Saturday Manchester City came from behind to topple second tier leaders Fulham, whilst Frank Lampard got his Everton tenure off to a winning start against fellow Premier League side Brentford.

Sunday sees three ties take place, including Liverpool's visit of Championship side Cardiff and holders Leicester City travelling to East Midlands' rivals Nottingham Forest.
