FA Cup fifth round draw: Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd and Maidstone learn next opponents

The draw for the fifth round of the 2023/24 FA Cup has been made, with Premier League giants Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool discovering their opponents in the next stage of England's famous competition.

Holders Man City, who beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Friday night, have been paired up with Luton Town away from home, while Maidstone United, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition after their stunning upset at Ipswich Town, will hope to continue their miraculous journey when they face Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry City.

Liverpool and Man Utd, who came through Sunday ties against Norwich City and Newport County, will take on Watford or Southampton and Bristol City or Nottingham Forest respectively.

The draw was initially scheduled to take place before the kick-off of Liverpool vs Norwich City at Anfield, but crowd trouble during Wolves' win at West Brom pushed it back.
