The draw is very much about to happen. Ball-pluckers Glen Johnson and Teddy Sheringham are being introduced as I type.
Confusingly, I’m also currently liveblogging the Bournemouth v Arsenal game. That’s here, should you wish to pop over at some point:
The FA Cup’s own live show is live on Twitter now. Currently, Shrewsbury’s Josh Laurent is being interviewed live from his sofa, clearly broadcasting from his phone and with his finger blocking most of the camera.
Hello world!
Teddy Sheringham and Glen Johnson will be tonight’s drawmasters. Will the fifth round bring a lovely day for your club? We can only hope it’s lovelier than this Lovely Day, from Sheringham’s last television appearance (that’s him in the tree suit):
You’ll be wanting to know which ball numbers to look out for, and here they all are:
1 Manchester United
2 Chelsea
3 Southampton or Tottenham Hotspur
4 Sheffield Wednesday
5 Bournemouth or Arsenal
6 Northampton Town or Derby County
7 Leicester City

If you want to watch it yourself, it’s on the FA Cup’s Twitter channel (it’s the future, don’t you know) as well as BBC1 (not so much). But I’ll be doing by very best to tell you everything you need to know as quick as it could possibly be told. So welcome, drawlovers.
