It’s the FA Cup fifth round this week as the remaining 16 teams look to book a place in the quarter-finals.
Championship sides Barnsley, Bristol City, Bournemouth and Swansea made it through the fourth round with the Premier League making up the rest of the draw.
Those four teams will be eager to fly the flag for the lower leagues in the quarters but face some tricky ties this week.
Holders Arsenal were knocked out by Southampton in the previous round so we will have a new champion this season.
But before teams can dream of lifting the historic cup, they’ll need to focus on the fifth round.

FA Cup: Rules for 2020/21 season
Clubs will be able to name nine players on their bench and use a maximum of five substitutes.
Teams can only take three opportunities to make subs in normal time.
Any unused subs can be carried over into extra-time where teams will also then be able to make an additional change.
There will be no replays in the tournament this season but extra-time will remain. Ties will not go straight to penalties like in the Carabao Cup this season.
VAR will only be used in six of the eight fifth round ties – in the matches held at Premier League stadiums.
