Sixth-tier Macclesfield FC will face Brentford following this draw, adding a welcome element of romance to the proceedings after a fourth-round weekend that lacked major surprises. Mansfield Town, who secured a victory at Burnley, and Port Vale, whose match against Bristol City was postponed, are the other teams from outside the top two divisions to advance.
Mansfield emerged as the standout story of the weekend, winning 2-1 at Turf Moor to reach the last 16 for the first time since 1975. Wrexham, who defeated Ipswich on Friday, last reached the fifth round in 1997. Only two other Championship clubs have definitely progressed—Norwich and Southampton—alongside 10 Premier League sides. The full draw will be revealed at 6.30pm (GMT).
