let's try to grab a couple winners today

Overview

Two Non-League clubs are into the Fifth Round in the same season for the first time since the current FA Cup format was put in place in 1925/26 season. (Note, two non-league clubs or more have been in the last 16 at the same time before, but they all occurred before 1921).

Both Lincoln City and Sutton United now have the opportunity of becoming the first Non-League club to appear in a FA Cup Quarter Final since Queens Park Rangers achieved that feat way back in 1914. To achieve it, the National League clubs will not only have to achieve personal best FA Cup runs, but will also have to equal a modern record set by Telford United in 1985, that is defeat their fourth League club in the same FA Cup campaign.

The draw for the last 16 has kept all the remaining Premier League clubs apart and no tie involves clubs who will meet each other in League action this season.

The draw for the last 16 has kept all the remaining Premier League clubs apart and no tie involves clubs who will meet each other in League action this season.

Burnley (Premier League) v Lincoln City (National League)
Level 1 v Level 5

Four previous FA Cup meetings between the two clubs, with Lincoln City winning on the first occasion in 1904/05, but Burnley winning through on the following three times.

Lincoln City are into the Fifth Round for only the second time in their FA Cup history, the first being 130 years ago in 1887, but it is the club’s fourth appearance in the last 16 of the competition. However, the Imps are yet to make the Quarter Finals. One time FA Cup winners Burnley haven’t gone beyond the Fifth Round for 14 years.

Fulham (EFL Championship) v Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)
Level 2 v Level 1

Six previous FA Cup meetings between the two clubs, with Tottenham Hotspur winning through on the first five occasions, but Fulham won 4-0 in the latest meeting just six years ago.

It is seven years since Fulham made FA Cup Quarter Finals, whilst seven times winners Tottenham Hotspur are trending to Quarter Finals this season having gone out in the 3rd Round, 4th Round and 5th Round in the last three years.

Blackburn Rovers (EFL Championship) v Manchester United (Premier League)
Level 2 v Level 1

Six previous FA Cup meetings between the two clubs, with Blackburn Rovers having the upper hand with four wins to two, although all of Blackburn’s wins came before 1929, two of them heavy wins over Newton Heath in the 19th Century.

Blackburn reached the Quarter Finals twice in their last four FA Cup campaigns whilst FA Cup holders Manchester United have appeared in the last eight three times in the same period.

Sutton United (National League) v Arsenal (Premier League)
Level 5 v Level 1

Unsurprisingly this is the first FA Cup meeting between the two clubs.

Sutton United are into the FA Cup Fifth Round for the first time ever in what is the club’s 95th FA Cup campaign. Sutton have the poorest record in the FA Cup of all the remaining 16 clubs, whilst Arsenal have the best record of all clubs who’ve ever taken part in the FA Cup. Arsenal are appearing in the Fifth Round for the seventh successive season.

Middlesbrough (Premier League) v Oxford United (EFL One)
Level 1 v Level 3

First FA Cup meeting between the two clubs despite 203 campaigns between them.

It is eight years since Middlesbrough last appeared in an FA Cup Quarter Final, something the club has achieved 16 times. Oxford United have only ever reached the last eight on one previous occasion, back in the 1963/64 season, a rare appearance by a fourth tier club in that round.

Wolverhampton Wanderers (EFL Championship) v Chelsea (Premier League)
Level 2 v Level 1

Three previous FA Cup meetings between the two clubs, with Chelsea 2 to 1 ahead in terms of victories.

Wolves are in the Fifth Round for the first time in nine seasons and it is a further five years before then since the club appeared in the Quarter Finals. Chelsea have only failed to reach the Fifth Round twice in the 21st Century.

Huddersfield Town (EFL Championship) v Manchester City (Premier League)
Level 2 v Level 1

Two previous FA Cup meetings between the two clubs, both won by Manchester City, but both times not until after a replay.

It is 45 years since Huddersfield Town last reached the FA Cup Quarter Finals, coincidentally the same season the club was last in the top flight. Manchester City have been at least Quarter Finalists five times in the last 11 campaigns before this one.

Millwall (EFL One) v Leicester City (Premier League)
Level 3 v Level 1

Four previous FA Cup meetings between the two clubs, with Leicester City triumphant on the first two occasions and Millwall the winners on the latter two occasions.

Millwall reached the Semi-Finals just four seasons ago and the Final nine years before that. Leicester City, on the other hand, have just three Quarter Final appearances this Century.

A place in the quarter-final is up for grabs and both teams are unlikely to take the game lightly despite Chelsea’s title chase.

With an eight-point lead in the Premier League table, Chelsea can concentrate fully on the FA Cup competition too and will be desperate to add further silverware to their cabinet.

Wolves have struggled to gain form under Paul Lambert in the Championship but they have not been shy in the FA Cup competition so far.

They knocked out both Liverpool and Stoke to reach the final 16 so they may have another giant killer performance left in them yet.

TEAM NEWS

WOLVES

Wolves will be expected to name their strongest XI as Lambert has few injury concerns. Key figures Richard Stearman, Helder Costa, and Andreas Weimann are all in with a chance of selection.

Former Liverpool academy star Conor Coady is also expected to retain his place and he will be hoping to progress ahead of his old club rivals.

CHELSEA

Antonio Conte has been given a boost as skipper John Terry has been named fit to play in the clash despite missing the Burnley game with a slight ankle injury.

Terry is likely to replace David Luiz who has been playing through injury since Christmas and Conte could make several changes to his starting XI in order to rest key players.

Nathan Ake could also start in defence ahead of Marcos Alonso after returning to Stamford Bridge following a successful loan spell at Bournemouth.

First team stars Cesc Fabregas, Michy Batshuayi and Asmir Begovic are all expected to start.
PREDICTION

After a disappointing performance on the weekend, Conte will be keen for his players to bounce back and make their mark. Terry and Fabregas could have important games and their experience is likely to give Chelsea the edge over their Championship opponents. Wolves risk
