The FA Cup continues this weekend with 16 clubs looking to progress past the fifth round and into the quarter-finals.

The long FA Cup weekend gets underway at Molineux on Friday night with Wolves hosting Liverpool, followed by six further matches on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The pick of the ties is arguably Chelsea’s clash with Wrexham, with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Championship high-flyers hoping to write their own Hollywood script by knocking out Liam Rosenior’s men.

Last year’s runner up, Manchester City, head to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle in what is a repeat of the Carabao Cup semi-final from this season.

Premier League leaders Arsenal, meanwhile, will be keen to avoid an almighty upset when they travel to Nottinghamshire to play League One side Mansfield.

Are there replays in the FA Cup?

No, replays have not been in use in any of the full rounds of this season’s FA Cup.

Replays were scrapped by the FA for last year’s competition in an attempt to ease fixture congestion and the rules have remained the same for this season.

Any match that finishes level after normal time will head to extra-time and, if required, penalties.
