Just eight teams will remain in this season’s FA Cup come Wednesday evening.

Two Yorkshire sides in Leeds United and Sheffield United reached the last 16 of the competition but the Whites were knocked out at the fifth-round stage following a 2-0 loss at Fulham on Tuesday as the Blades host Tottenham Hotspur at Bramall Lane on Wednesday night.

There are no replays in the fifth round, with matches on Tuesday and Wednesday set to go to extra time and penalties if sides are level after 90 minutes.
