The most anticipated game of this round will take place on Monday, but there's more to watch during the weekend.

Only sixteen teams are left in the 2018-19 FA Cup. Six Premier League teams have survived quite an interersting competition, which could see the end of the top tier's dominance this year.

Lower-tier teams dominate fifth round fixtures, with Newport County keeping their dream alive after four rounds. The South Wales-based team will try to shock Manchester City in this round, which would qualify as one of the most surprising results ever in this competition.

Games will begin on Friday evening and will go on up until Monday, when Chelsea and Manchester United battle for the final ticket to the quarter finals. At least two low-tier teams will be able to make the top eight, as Wimbledon and Millwall will play against each other on Saturday evening. The other game between lower-tier teams will take place on Sunday, when Swansea City hosts Brentford.

Let's get a closer glimpse at the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Match of the Week - Chelsea vs Manchester United

Chelsea has been quite inconsisten in the past few weeks. The Blues' players seem to be having problems to understand Maurizio Sarri's tactics, and severe whoppings against Bournemouth (4-0) and Manchester City (6-0) confirm such claims. After Thursday's win againsty Malmo, this game could be crucial for the Italian boss to keep his job.

Regarding Manchester United, their Champions League loss against PSG not only ended their unbeaten run under Solksjaer, but it also deepened the team's injury woes. Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial will both miss this game due to injuries, which will force the Norwegian boss to improvise if he wants to escape from Stamford Bridge with a ticket to the next round.
