Spoils shared at Vicarage Road
A late equaliser from Southampton has kept their hopes alive of making it to the fifth round.
Martins scored early on for The Hornets before Armstrong ensured that The Saints get a replay.
The winners of this one could potentially be heading to Anfield in the next round.
Netflix could welcome the Saudi State
If Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny’s Wrexham can upset the odds against Blackburn tomorrow evening, a big tie beckons.
The Welsh club would welcome Newcastle Utd to the Racecourse Ground.
It would be a strange feeling The Magpies’ stars, heading to a League Two club meaning they get to star on Netflix.
Trip to Kenilworth Road for Pep
Man City will have a tricky tie as they travel to Luton Town.
They found it hard work earlier in the season when they played.
After falling behind to an Adebayo goal, Bernardo Silva and Grealish managed to fire them to victory.
It certainly will be a cauldron of noise for the FA Cup fifth round.

Close but no cigar for The Stones

There were groans up and down the country as they drew Sheff Wed or Coventry.
Even fans of other clubs wanted to see the minnows get the financial rewards they deserve from making it this far.
Glen Johnson had other ideas sadly.

Wolves book their spot
Wolves’ 2-0 win over rivals West Brom means they have booked their spot in the draw.
Watford currently lead Southampton 1-0 as they look to secure their spot in the next round too.
Draw delayed
Following the delay cause by crowd troubles in the West Brom vs Wolves game, today’s draw has been pushed back.
The draw will now take place at half-time in Liverpool’s clash with Norwich.
West Brom vs Wolves back underway
The Black Country derby is back underway.
After a significant delay the game starts again from a kick off.
Wolves remain 2-0 up and look like they’re heading for the fifth round.
Prize money
Teams who advance past the fifth round will bag themselves £225,000.
That kind of money would be huge for teams in the lower divisions who are eyeing a giant killing.
Maidstone United already bagged themselves a trajectory-changing £120,000 for their win over Ipswich yesterday.
Teams return to pitch
Players from both Wolves and West Brom have returned to the field of play at the Hawthorns.
The game is yet to get back underway, but players are warming back up in positive signs.
The terrible scenes have delayed the game by almost 30 minutes now.
West Brom vs Wolves suspended
West Brom’s clash with Wolves has been delayed due to crowd troubles in the Hawthorns Stadium.
Fans spilt onto the pitch while police and stewards were forced to intervene.
The match has been stopped until it is safe to continue.
The delay could see today’s draw pushed back as a result.
Wolves in the pot?
Wolves look as though they have secured their spot in the pot for the draw.
They have taken a 2-0 lead against rivals West Brom and with just over 15 minutes remaining they look like they will be heading into the fifth round.
If things stay as they are they will occupy ball number four in the draw.
