The fourth round of the FA Cup comes to a close on Tuesday night, but the draw for the fifth round will already have been made by then.
Plenty of big teams are already out of the competition, with Arsenal falling in the third round, while Chelsea were beaten by Brighton on Saturday.
The likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United are still alive, though, with City and United scraping past Leyton Orient and Leicester City respectively this weekend.
Arne Slot’s side take on Plymouth on Sunday afternoon as the fourth round nears a conclusion, with Aston Villa facing Tottenham later in the day.
Despite a number of teams coming close to pulling off big upsets, there were no absolute shock results on Saturday.
Championship side Burnley beat Premier League strugglers Southampton, but that was no great surprise really.
Millwall’s win at Leeds was impressive, as was Bournemouth’s victory at Everton, but neither will go down as great FA Cup upsets.
When is the FA Cup fifth-round draw?
The FA Cup draw for the fifth round will take place during the next episode of the One Show on Monday, February 10.
The draw is expected to get underway at about 7.10pm GMT.
