The remaining teams in the FA Cup have discovered their next opponents after the fifth round draw was made.

Over the weekend, the FA Cup took centre stage as the fourth round matches were played across the country.

However, there was a huge upset at Turf Moor as League One side Mansfield Town beat Premier League club Burnley 2-1.

Josh Laurent had put Burnley ahead in the 21st minute, but goals from Rhys Oates and Louis Reed sealed a dramatic comeback victory for the visitors.

On Sunday, Leeds United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sunderland, Fulham and Arsenal won their fourth round ties.

National League side Macclesfield FC, who dispatched holders Crystal Palace in the third round, take on Premier League outfit Brentford on Monday night. Owner Rob Smethurst said: “We had our World Cup final against Crystal Palace. This is just an extra bonus now.”

The fifth round draw was made ahead of kick-off at the Leasing.com Stadium.

If they manage to beat Brentford and extend their fairytale FA Cup run, Macclesfield FC will travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United.
