The FA Cup fifth round draw takes place later this evening and for the first time since the foundation of the Football League two non league sides are involved.
England manager Gareth Southgate will help conduct the draw and it takes place at 7.20pm on The One Show on BBC1 with coverage also on BBC Radio 5.
The fifth round ties are set to take place between Friday February 17 and Monday February 20 and there are 17 sides waiting to see their fate given the Derby County v Leicester City fourth round affair requires a replay.
With National League leaders Lincoln City taking victory over Championship automatic promotion placed Brighton and Sutton taking victory over fellow Championship side Leeds United – it means that for the first time since the Football League foundation back in 1888 we have two non league clubs in the FA Cup fifth round.
