At least four big Premier League clubs will not be in the draw for the FA Cup fifth-round ties on Monday night. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur have all been eliminated from the competition.

Arsenal were knocked out by Manchester United in the third round, losing in a penalty shootout after the game ended 1-1. Liverpool suffered a major upset, losing 1-0 to Plymouth, while Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Brighton at the Amex Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur also crashed out of the competition, losing 2-1 to Aston Villa at Villa Park. This was Spurs’ second domestic cup exit in one week, following their 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

The absence of these four Premier League giants from the FA Cup fifth-round draw opens up opportunities for other teams to progress in the competition. The draw for the fifth-round ties will take place on Monday night.
