FA Cup reveal major update as Newcastle United, Man Utd and Man City await draw

Despite suffering a very early scare at the hands of their League One opponents, Newcastle United were able to react and come out on the right side of a 3-2 scoreline to book their spot in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup. It is the second-successive season that the Magpies will feature in the final 16 of the competition and following their successes in the Carabao Cup, they will be confident of taking on anyone they are drawn against.

They have been handed two matches against lower league opponents so far this season and whilst both have given them a good game, Eddie Howe’s side have come through those matches to find themselves two wins away from another Wembley appearance, albeit only in the semi-finals.

As Newcastle eagerly await who they will face in the next round, here, we take a look at everything fans need to know about the FA Cup Fifth Round draw:
