The fifth round of the FA Cup is almost upon us and with it brings big changes to the world's oldest football competition.
Every tie across the fifth round will be played in midweek, commencing from Monday, March 2, with games level at 90 minutes being decided on the night via extra time or, if needed, penalties.

Come the conclusion of the fourth round, there will be 16 teams left in the hat.
