A round-up of the FA Cup fifth round draw

While Arsenal will be overwhelming favourites to progress, Sutton have beaten AFC Wimbledon and Leeds on their artificial pitch at Gander Green Lane.

After drawing 0-0 with Wimbledon, they won 3-1 in the replay at the Cherry Red Records Stadium then defeated a much-changed Leeds side 1-0 at the weekend.

With a capacity of just over 5,000 including less than 1,000 seats, it remains to be seen if the match venue will be changed.

There are no all-Premier League ties in the last 16. If Leicester get through their replay with Derby, they will go to Millwall, who followed up their shock win over Bournemouth earlier in January with a 1-0 success against Watford.
