No sooner will most of the ties in the Third Round of the FA Cup have been completed, than the draw for both the Fourth and Fifth rounds will take place.
The atypical nature of the 2020/21 campaign will see the fixtures take place over a shorter time frame, to compensate for a potential fixture pile-up caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
What that means is that some teams that haven’t been able to play their Third Round ties – for example because of a postponement for a Covid-19 outbreak – will already know what they need to do to get as far as the quarter-final stage this season.
As talkSPORT note, the draw will take place on Monday, January 11, prior to the Stockport County v West Ham United tie, live on BT Sport, talkSPORT and on the FA Cup Twitter and Facebook channels.
