When is the FA Cup draw with date, start time, TV channel and ball numbers for fifth round

Manchester City and Manchester United will both be eagerly awaiting the FA Cup fifth round draw as they discover who they'll be facing for a place in the last eight of the competition.

After cruising past Chelsea in round three, winning 4-0, City secured their place in the fifth round with a narrow win over Premier League title rivals Arsenal. Nathan Ake's second half strike proved to be the difference as Pep Guardiola's men made it three wins from three in all competitions.

Manchester United, meanwhile, booked their place in the fifth round 24 hours later. An edgy first half was soon forgotten as Erik ten Hag's men romped to a 3-1 win, with a rare Casemiro brace stealing the show before Fred ended the game as a contest with little over 20 minutes remaining.
