The FA Cup Fifth Round Proper preview video show

Friday 14 Feb 2014
Keith Houchen dives in to score the winner for Coventry City

This weekend sees The FA Cup Fifth Round Proper taking place and with eight fixtures scheduled across three days, there's plenty to look forward to.

Two ties in particular really caught the eye when the draw was made by Andros Townsend and his father Troy at Wembley last month, with Manchester City hosting Chelsea on Saturday and Liverpool travelling to face Premier League title rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium less than 24 hours later.

Ian Rush and Michael Owen discuss Sturridge and Suarez

 

And you can watch previews of both games in our special FA Cup Fifth Round Proper video preview show, with Stamford Bridge boss Jose Mourinho and goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer speaking about their trip north to the Etihad Stadium in the main video player above.

Liverpool's strike partnership between England hitman Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez has proved fruitful so far this season, with the pair having scored 39 goals between them.

They will be looking to keep that going on Sunday when they visit Arsenal and we got the thoughts of two former Anfield favourites on what has been dubbed the SAS partnership.

Charlton Athletic prepare for their tie at Hillsborough

 

Ian Rush and Michael Owen are both familiar with the job, having led the line for Liverpool in recent years and they take a closer look at both players and what makes them such a dynamic partnership.

Elsewhere, Charlton Athletic are eyeing up a place in the Sixth Round ahead of their journey north to play Sheffield Wednesday and we speak to boss Chris Powell and captain Johnnie Jackson about the game.

The Addicks have already beaten Championship opposition once this season with a win at Huddersfield Town in the Fourth Round Proper and they are now looking to repeat that sort of success, once again in Yorkshire.

Watch the interview with Cup hero Keith Houchen

 

For our FA Cup Hero feature in this round, we hear from Keith Houchen who was Coventry City's match-winner in the 1987 Final.

His famous diving header proved to be the crucial goal against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, forever sealing his place in FA Cup and Coventry City folklore.

And Houchen admits that his moment of fame is something that still follows him around to this day, as he chats about the game and the magic of The FA Cup.

Our guests take the Fifth Round quiz

 

To finish off the Fifth Round show this time, the likes of Rush, Powell, Schawarzer and Jackson all take part in our special FA Cup quiz.
