The fifth-round draw will be held after Spurs’ trip to Aston Villa on Sunday night, which is being broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer. Those fixtures will be held on the weekend of March 1/2. Exact dates and times will be confirmed following the draw, once broadcasters have decided which games will be shown on TV.

For over an hour, this looked on course to be a win for Ruud van Nistelrooy on his Old Trafford return, as well as a morale-boosting result to aid them in their Premier League survival fight. The Foxes had battled well, were the better side in the first half and good value for their 1-0 goal lead as the game headed towards the final 20 minutes.
