FA Cup fifth-round draw: Newcastle v Manchester City among ties

The FA Cup fifth-round draw produced a high-profile tie as Newcastle United will host Manchester City. Fulham were the first team out and will host Southampton, while Port Vale or Bristol City could be paired with Sunderland. Karen Carney and Joe Cole conducted the draw on TNT Sports at the Moss Rose.

Coverage included a walk-and-talk around a packed Macclesfield dressing room, where the camera lens kept steaming up, and viewers were invited to follow Macclesfield v Brentford with Xaymaca Awoyungbo. Lower-league stories remain part of the picture: sixth-tier Macclesfield face Brentford, Mansfield Town reached the last 16 for the first time since 1975 with a 2-1 win at Turf Moor, and Wrexham, who beat Ipswich, last made the fifth round in 1997.

Only two Championship clubs are definitely through — Norwich and Southampton — alongside ten Premier League sides. The weekend brought controversy too: Aston Villa v Newcastle descended into farce without VAR, and referee Chris Kavanagh has been stood down by the PGMO after three big errors.
