CARDIFF CITY TO PLAY ASTON VILLA AWAY IN FA CUP FIFTH ROUND

MATCH TO BE PLAYED ON THE WEEKEND OF SATURDAY 1ST MARCH 2025


FA CUP FIFTH ROUND DRAW IN FULL

AFC Bournemouth v Wolves

Aston Villa v Cardiff City

Crystal Palace v Millwall

Exeter City or Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Town

Manchester City v Plymouth Argyle

Manchester United v Fulham

Newcastle United v Brighton & Hove Albion

Preston North End v Burnley

Cardiff City will be ball number 16.

By my calculations should be 12 EPL teams and 3 Non-EPL

80% chance of a Premier League team - and, with 2 away games, we are due a home tie.

Knowing our luck it'll be Preston away!

Newcastle away is my prediction Willock v Willock

Newcastle away is my prediction Willock v Willock

Exeter away. Colwill v Colwill

Man United at home would be great as it would be a big crowd, televised worldwide and we would probably beat them. They are terrible. Top result. Great physical effort from the boys.

Exeter away. Colwill v Colwill

Joel Colwill can't play in the FA Cup anyway, because he already played in it for Cheltenham.

2008 final .....here we come

Newcastle at home
But it'll be milwall away ffs

A winnable game at home would be good or against a lower Premier League team so it's a decent draw but not impossible for us to win.

Failing that, wouldn't mind Spurs away if they beat Villa (which is unlikely). Not been to their new stadium yet, looks impressive on TV.

Wolves at home would be good? may be able to win against them, and a decent crowd at home

Can almost guarantee we'll be drawn against Plymouth

With the teams left and a very favourable draw we could have a great cup run

Can almost guarantee we'll be drawn against Plymouth

Funnily enough that was my first thought after they won, seems to be the way if you are also imminently playing a team who are also in the draw

Of the 14 teams through, nine are from the Premier League and five from the Championship.

Plus two more ties, one on Monday and one on Tuesday. They are League One v Premier League and League Two v Premier League.

Daland off injured yesterday.

I am still of the opinion that this year isn’t the year for a cup run.

All it takes is for a couple of injuries to a player like Robertson or Chambers and we don’t have the depth in the squad to really cope with it.

An Fa cup quarter/semi final in exchange for our championship status? No thanks.

Well we're in a cup run now, so it's too late to decide that. First time in 11 years that we've got to the Fifth Round.

I did say before the third round tie that I didn't think it was a year for a cup run but now we're in the middle of one, we may as well embrace it.

Although I now think we will comfortably stay up anyway.

Will be interesting what team we draw and what kind of team we put out for that game .

So, with 14 ties played and two which will be played after the draw, here are the amount of teams from each league that are left in the competition.

The draw takes place at around 7.10pm on BBC One:


Premier League - 11

Championship - 5

League One - 1

League Two - 1

Draw starts in about 20 minutes on BBC One.
