Man Utd losing

SCRATCH THAT!

West Ham lead at Old Trafford thanks to Said Benrahma. Marcus Rashford, who was supposed to be having a rest tonight, is instantly coming on. 35 minutes left there...

Scores as we stand

With just over 10 minutes to go, Grimsby are on the verge of a massive upset and a place in the quarters! They lead Southampton 2-1.

And that's the only game with any goals I'm afraid! Could be long night...

Man Utd 0-0 West Ham

Burnley 0-0 Fleetwood

Sheffield United 0-0 Tottenham

When is the draw and how to watch it?

Spurs should finish around 10pm if it ends in 90 minutes and we are led to believe that the draw will finish straight after that. Although there is usually a bit of waiting around!

That game is being shown on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and on the BBC Sport app. As well as being included in the BBC coverage, the Emirates FA Cup social media channels will also stream the draw in its entirety.

Or just stick with Mirror Football right here!

Good evening

And thanks for joining us!

The draw is set to follow the conclusion of Sheffield United vs Tottenham, so there isn't too long to go!
