The draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup takes place after an action-packed weekend of fourth-round action.

Tottenham and Arsenal have both joined Liverpool in being dumped out of the competition at an early stage as three of the Premier League's heavyweight clubs will not be competing in the next stage.

Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates on Friday night, while Spurs were shocked in a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

West Ham were stunned by AFC Wimbledon in another of the weekend's cupsets, though holders Chelsea are through after beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-0.

Barnet, the only remaining non-league side in the competition, host Brentford in the final proper game of the round, with four replays due to be played.
