The FA Cup fifth-round draw for 2022–23 has been made. While the defending Premier League champion Manchester City travels to Bristol City, Manchester United will host West Ham at Old Trafford.
Following a dramatic stalemate in Wales at the weekend, Tottenham will travel to either Wrexham or Sheffield United. The two teams will meet at Bramall Lane for a rematch.
