The draw for the FA Cup quarter-final takes place once the fifth-round action concludes in midweek, with Championship leaders Burnley looking to continue their run and Manchester City and Manchester United among the favourites.
Burnley, managed by former City defender Vincent Kompany, face League One team Fleetwood Town on Wednesday night on BBC iPlayer. City, meanwhile, beat rivals Arsenal in the fourth round and will be expected to overcome Bristol City on Tuesday night in order to secure their place in the last eight.
Grimsby Town defeated Championship side Luton Town in the fourth round and could take on one of the Premier League giants if they manage to upset Southampton on Wednesday.
Meanwhile at Old Trafford, Manchester United face West Ham, who are in high spirits after their 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest lifted them out of the Premier League relegation zone. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s men will be in even higher spirits, having lifted the Carabao Cup on Sunday against Newcastle.
Tottenham, led by assistant manager Cristian Stellini in the absence of manager Antonio Conte, will play against second-placed Championship side Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Conte is currently recovering from gallbladder surgery and has been absent from recent matches.
