This marks a change in the traditional approach but has been done to "aid fixture scheduling" in this most unusual of seasons, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

It follows a similar approach by the English Football League in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season.

The draws will be hosted by Reshmin Chowdhury and conducted by former England striker Peter Crouch, and will form part of BT Sport 1’s pre-match coverage of the third round tie between Stockport County and West Ham United.

Fans can also watch the draws live via the official Emirates FA Cup Twitter and Facebook channels.

The fourth round draw is scheduled to start at 7.10pm, with the fifth round draw set to get under way at around 7.23pm.

The fourth round ties are due to be played around the weekend of January 23/24, with the fifth round set to take place in midweek, on Wednesday, February 10.

Ball numbers for the fourth round draw have now been allocated. The fifth round draw ball numbers will be generated once the fourth round has been drawn.
