The remaining FA Cup contenders are set to discover their quarter-final fate when the draw takes place after the most high-profile tie of the fifth round.

Watford were the first team to book their spot in the last eight after Etienne Capoue's strike was enough to sink QPR at Loftus Road, while Ashley Cole's maiden competition goal proved in vain as Derby were beaten 2-1 by Brighton.

AFC Wimbledon's fairytale run came to an end at the hands of Millwall defender Murray Wallace and Newport - the lowest-ranked team left in this year's cup - gave star-studded Manchester City a stern test before falling to a flurry of late goals including a brace from Phil Foden.

On Sunday, Wolves edged past Bristol City, while Crystal Palace and Swansea cruised into the last eight. Goals from Jeffrey Schlupp and Max Meyer sealed the Eagles' spot in the hat, while Dan James starred as Swansea came from behind to hammer 10-man Brentford 4-1.

Holders Chelsea face Manchester United on Monday.
