The FA Cup quarter-final draw is coming  up.

Tonight it will be broadcast live on ITV4 at 7pm or just after,  the draw can also be streamed on ITVX.

The FA Cup quarter-final draw to made before before they broadcast Chelsea v Leeds.

That is one of four remaining fifth round ties tonight, with Man City, Coventry, Leicester and Newcastle United already through.

If you could guarantee the first ball out of the hat will be number one, then I would take that.

FA Cup quarter-final draw numbers:

1 Newcastle United

2 Chelsea or Leeds

3 Leicester

4 Liverpool or Southampton

5 Nottingham Forest or Man U

6 Wolves or Brighton

7 Coventry

8 Man City
