The FA Cup is edging towards the business end as the line-up for the fifth round is close to being completed.

There has not been many shocks so far in the fourth round, but there was one substantial one at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Premier League side Burnley were beaten at home by League One Mansfield Town, continuing a nightmare season for the Clarets.

But there were no upsets for the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, with all three sides securing their spots in the next round of the competition.

The fourth round doesn’t come to an end on Sunday, with Macclesfield hosting Brentford on Monday night and then one straggler of a fixture.

Port Vale vs Bristol City was due to be played on Saturday but was postponed due to a an unplayable surface, so will be played on 6 March.

The rest of the teams in the draw will know who they will be playing long before that fixture is eventually played, though.
