FA Cup fifth round draw: Fixtures, schedule, dates of matches as Wrexham miss out on Premier League tie image

Wrexham missed out on the chance of a showdown with Premier League opposition in the fifth round of the 2023/24 FA Cup.

The Welsh club, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, would have faced Newcastle United if they were able to beat Blackburn Rovers in round four of English football's oldest competition. They started well, going a goal up at Ewood Park, but the Championship club responded well to win 4-1.

Holders Manchester City were pitted against top-flight opposition in the form of Luton Town in the fifth-round draw, which was held on January 28. City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the fourth round and will now face another Premier League side away from home.

The ties will take place in the final week of February, although the precise dates and times are yet to be confirmed. Below is the draw for the fifth round in full, with some fourth-round ties yet to be completed and others set for replays after games ended in a draw.
