Watch four live ties – how to follow FA Cup fifth round on BBC – Footymercato.com
[ad_1]
Non-league Maidstone United’s FA Cup adventure continues away at Coventry City on Monday, the first of eight fifth-round ties over three nights.
The Stones, who play in the sixth-tier National League South, have won seven matches to become the lowest-ranked team to reach the last 16 since Blyth Spartans in 1977-78.
Maidstone, who won at Championship club Ipswich Town in the fourth round, are the only side outside the top two tiers of English football left in the competition.
Holders Manchester City are at Luton Town on Tuesday, one of three all-Premier League ties.
All eight games – which are taking place across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday – are available to watch live on BBC and ITV platforms, while there will be commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and BBC local radio.
There are no replays in the fifth round so ties that are level after 90 minutes will be settled using a 30-minute extra-time period and a penalty shootout.
