Now majority of teams confirmed for the Fourth Round draw of this season’s FA Cup, here are full details for the first-ever double draw in the competition’s history, featuring the Fifth Round draw too.
With the Fourth Round set to be held across weekend of 22-25 January 2021 and Fifth Round following across the midweek of 9-11 February just two-and-a-half weeks later, the Football Association decided that to assist with fixture scheduling logistics, draws for both rounds will be held on Monday 11 January.
This decision means that excluding Qualifying Round draws, this will be the first time in which two draws for two rounds proper in the FA Cup have been held on the same date.
Both draws will be held live during BT Sport 1’s pre-match build-up to Stockport County’s clash against West Ham United, with Reshmin Chowdhury hosting the draw whilst ex Liverpool striker and 2005-06 FA Cup winner, Peter Crouch will be drawing the balls.
As a result of the Fourth and Fifth Round draws being held together, the former draw will be held at around 7:10pm (GMT) with the latter draw scheduled to commence at 7:23pm, meaning that the FA have only confirmed ball numbers for the Fourth Round draw.
Ball numbers for the Fifth Round draw will therefore be generated upon the conclusion of the Fourth Round draw.
Live coverage of both draws will also be broadcast on BBC Two with their coverage getting underway from 7pm (GMT) on 11 January hosted by Mark Chapman.
