Liverpool’s ball number and key teams
Liverpool have been confirmed as ball number 1 for the fifth-round draw after that comfortable win over Brighton. The hat is stacked with heavyweight Premier League opposition, including Arsenal (ball 6), Chelsea (ball 7) and Manchester City (ball 14), all of whom will be seen as major contenders to go all the way. There are also lower‑league stories to track, with the likes of Wrexham, Mansfield and Norwich among the sides hoping for a glamour tie against Liverpool or one of the other top-flight giants.

For Slot and his squad, the fifth round represents a chance to keep silverware hopes burning deep into the spring. Liverpool’s schedule around early March is already packed, but a favorable draw could open up a realistic route to Wembley and inject even more belief into a group already buoyed by recent cup performances.
