The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round Draw

The Emirates FA Cup fifth round draw took place on Monday evening, live on the BBC’s One Show.

The draw was made by Ruud Gullit, who coached Chelsea to the Cup in 1997, and former Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers player Robbie Savage.

And Gullit picked his former club out at home, with Chelsea playing Championships side Hull City at Stamford Bridge.
