The television picks for the FA Cup fifth round have been confirmed.

Just 16 teams remain with the draw throwing up some tantalising ties as clubs look to go within one game of Wembley and two of the final itself, with seven of the eight games either televised on terrestrial TV or available to stream.

Championship strugglers Plymouth’s reward for dumping Premier League leaders Liverpool out in the fourth round is another daunting opponent as they travel to face Manchester City.

Manchester United take on top-flight rivals Fulham after their dramatic win over Leicester, with Aston Villa hosting Cardiff with Unai Emery’s side beating Tottenham at Villa Park.

Meanwhile, three all-Premier League clashes see Newcastle welcome Brighton, Nottingham Forest take on Ipswich and Wolves travel to Bournemouth.

The remaining ties sees a South-London clash between Crystal Palace and Millwall, while Lancashire rivals Preston and Burnley come to blows.

Read on to check out the full TV schedule for the FA Cup fifth round with ties taking place across the weekend around March 1 and 2.
