FA Cup fifth round ball numbers released as Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham await fate

This season's Emirates FA Cup is now well underway as just 32 teams remain in the competition ahead of the weekend's fourth round matchups.

Manchester City and Arsenal, who have been England's two most impressive sides so far this campaign, kick-off the fourth round with what promises to be a brilliant tactical battle between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta at the Etihad on Friday evening. Elsewhere, the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and West Ham United will be looking to progress to the last-16 as they search to be in with a shot of winning the world's oldest cup competition.

However, although there are plenty of Premier League outfits still in the tournament, in typical FA Cup fashion, there could be some shocks along the way. Non-league outfit Wrexham, who are famously owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, face Sheffield United at home in Round four, while League Two outfits Accrington Stanley and Stevenage also remain.
