What TV channel is the FA Cup quarter-final draw on and when is it?

The FA Cup is back underway this week as the fifth round sees the last 16 teams compete for football's oldest trophy.

Holders Leicester City were knocked out in the last round, falling 4-1 to Championship outfit Nottingham Forest, who also dumped out 14-time winners Arsenal back in January.

Premier League leaders Manchester City travelled to the Weston Homes Stadium on Tuesday evening and eased past Peterborough United, while Crystal Palace knocked out Stoke and Middlesbrough pulled off a shock result to beat Tottenham Hotspur after extra-time - their second Premier League scalp in a row after Manchester United.

Another three fixtures took place on Wednesday night as Luton Town almost pulled off an upset against eight-time winners Chelsea, losing 3-2 while Southampton knocked out West Ham and Norwich City lost to Carabao Cup winners Liverpool at Anfield.

Boreham Wood, who are the last remaining non-league side, travel to Merseyside to take on Everton at Goodison Park on Thursday night whilst the aforementioned Nottingham Forest host Huddersfield to the City Ground next Monday evening.

The winners of these ties will then progress to the quarter-finals, which will take place in less than three weeks time before April's semi-finals at Wembley Stadium.

When is the draw?

The draw is due to take place on Thursday March 3, 2022 before Boreham Wood's match against Everton.

The draw is scheduled to take place with Gareth Southgate selecting the balls at Wembley Stadium before kickoff, which is at 8.15pm, broadcast live on ITV.

Matches are scheduled to take place between Friday 18 2022 and Monday 21 March 2022.

1 - Chelsea

2 - Crystal Palace

3 - Manchester City

4 - Liverpool

5 - Southampton

6 - Middlesbrough

7 - Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield

8 - Everton or Boreham Wood
