We're almost done with the fourth round of the FA Cup, and that means it's time to draw the fifth round. The competition will be down to sixteen teams, and thanks to a 2-1 win over Bournemouth, Aston Villa will be amongst those chosen. The draw occurs tonight (Monday, January 26) at 7 PM England time.

Amongst the teams to be chosen, we're guaranteed to have at least six teams advance from the lower leagues. Cambridge United, Fulham, Bolton, and Rochdale could add themselves to that pool. Notably absent from the draw will be traditional powerhouse teams such as Tottenham, Manchester City, and Chelsea as well as Premier League upstarts Southampton.

That means that this year's cup is more open than ever, and a favorable draw could be all it takes to see Aston Villa into the quarterfinals. If you want to follow along, here's the info you need. Remember, Aston Villa are ball number 8:
