Take a look at all eight of this week's Emirates FA Cup fifth round proper ties

A place in the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals is up for grabs for the 16 clubs who are in fifth-round action across the country this week.

There are four ties on Tuesday 28 February to get the fifth round kicked-off, before another four games follow on Wednesday 1 March.

And all eight games will be available to watch live across broadcast channels in the UK, as we take a look ahead of each tie below…

Stoke City v Brighton & Hove Albion
7.15pm, Tuesday 28 February
Bet365 Stadium
Live on ITV4

The first of our ties sees Roberto De Zerbi’s Premier League high-fliers head north to Staffordshire for what will be their first meeting there since a Premier League encounter back in 2017.

Their only FA Cup meeting at Stoke was also in the fifth round, back in 2011 when Tony Pulis’ Potters secured a 3-0 win thanks to first-half goals from John Carew, Jon Walters and Ryan Shawcross.

Stoke went on to reach the FA Cup Final that year, only to lose out to Manchester City at Wembley.

Leicester City v Blackburn Rovers
7.30pm, Tuesday 28 February
King Power Stadium
Live on BBC iPlayer

The 2021 winners will be hoping to taste Emirates FA Cup success again this year, as they prepare to host a Blackburn Rovers side who come into the game on the back of three successive wins in the Championship and are nine games unbeaten.

That’s been enough to keep Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team in firm contention in the race for promotion to the Premier League, but they’ll also have half an eye on a Cup run having already knocked out Championship rivals Norwich City and Birmingham City.

They last reached the quarter-final stage ten years ago, only to lose a replay by 1-0 at home against Millwall.

Fulham v Leeds United
7.45pm, Tuesday 28 February
Craven Cottage
Live on BBC One

Tuesday’s only all-Premier League clash takes place on the banks of the Thames and will see the hosts looking to supplement their impressive term in the top-flight so far with an FA Cup run.

But with Leeds now under the charge of Javi Gracia, who masterminded Watford’s run the Emirates FA Cup Final back in 2019, and on the back of a morale-boosting win over Southampton last weekend, they will see this as a chance to pick up some form to boost confidence but also an opportunity to take another step towards the latter stages.

Bristol City v Manchester City
8pm, Tuesday 28 February
Ashton Gate
Live on ITV1

Pep Guardiola’s team would do well to take inspiration from their women’s team, who were also drawn out against the same opposition in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup fifth round, and clocked up an 8-1 victory in Sunday’s tie.

But with a sold-out Ashton Gate awaiting them, Nigel Pearson’s Robins will be looking forward to the challenge of pitting their wits against the Sky Blues as a welcome distraction from the Championship, where they sit in eleventh spot.

Southampton v Grimsby Town
7.15pm, Wednesday 1 March
St. Mary's Stadium
Live on ITV4

As the lowest-ranked club left in the competition, League Two side Grimsby will make the long trip from the north-east coast to the south for our first match of Wednesday evening’s schedule.

They’ll approach it with confidence too, having seen off Championship side Luton Town in the fourth round following a replay at Blundell Park.

Since the last stage, Southampton have changed managers with Spaniard Ruben Selles now in the St. Mary’s hotseat following the dismissal of Nathan Jones earlier this month.

Burnley v Fleetwood Town
7.30pm, Wednesday 1 March
Turf Moor
Live on BBC iPlayer

In what is the only fifth-round tie with a local flavour, this one sees a short trip across Lancashire for Fleetwood Town who make their first-ever visit to Burnley’s Turf Moor.

And they will find a host team with no shortage of confidence after what has been a stunning season so far under the charge of two-time FA Cup winner Vincent Kompany.

The Clarets currently sit 19 points clear of third place in the Championship table and look set for an instant return to the Premier League.

The Cod Army don’t have any shortage of pedigree in their dug-out either, with boss Scott Brown having won the Scottish equivalent six times during his career with Celtic and has now taken Fleetwood as far as they've ever been in the FA Cup in his first season in charge.

Manchester United v West Ham United
7.45pm, Wednesday 1 March
Old Trafford
Live on ITV1

Fresh from lifting the EFL Cup with victory over Newcastle United at Wembley on Sunday, Manchester United are straight back into action on Wednesday.

And they welcome a West Ham team under former United boss David Moyes who will head north on the back of an impressive 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

There’s been no shortage of FA Cup meetings between the clubs over the last few years, having been paired together in 2021, 2016, 2013 and 2003.

But you have to go back to January 2001 and Paolo di Canio’s famous winner at Old Trafford for the last time the Hammers have tasted victory over United.

Sheffield United v Tottenham Hotspur
7.55pm, Wednesday 1 March
Bramall Lane
Live on BBC One

The Blades put non-League challengers Wrexham to the sword on home turf last time out earlier this month and now prepare to welcome top-flight opposition in Tottenham Hotspur.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side are another team in this year’s fifth round who are in the hunt for promotion to the Premier League and they have recent FA Cup pedigree too, having reached the quarter-finals two seasons in succession in 2020 and 2021. They also made it to the semi-finals in 2014, 2003 and 1993.

Spurs arrive in South Yorkshire on the back of Sunday’s league win over Chelsea and are aiming for their first FA Cup title since 1991.
