The holders of Chelsea will face Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup, in a tie that puts the mouth watering, which is a repeat of the final 2018.
Who will win this time? You can find out by watching live on BBC One and the BBC Sport website from 19:30 GMT on Monday.
This is one of two fifth-round games broadcast live on the BBC. The Ligue 1 tie against Doncaster Rovers with Crystal Palace (Sunday at 16:00 GMT) will also be broadcast.
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson has reviewed all eight games this weekend and has made his verdict on who will make the fifth round.
BBC Radio 1Xtra Big DJs Zuu & Trevor Nelson have made their predictions too.
Chelsea supporter Nelson is reluctant to try fate and say that he will succeed – but can not stop it in the end.
He told BBC Sport: "United are currently playing FA Cup football, and they have recovered their bravery.
"I think this match will be much better than last year's final, I really think it will be a great football match.
"I'm going to aim for a 3-2 result, if I say Chelsea will win, they'll lose, if I say Chelsea will lose, we'll win, so I'm damned if I do, and damned if I do not. do not do it – but I have to support ourselves to do it. "
Big Zuu does not agree on the fate of the winner at Stamford Bridge, but he also expects a thriller.
"I can not lie, it's going to be a stumper," he said. "I'm sorry for United because they first attracted Arsenal in this race and now have Chelsea.
"This tie is tense for them but I feel the pressure is going to make diamonds and that they will beat Chelsea 2-0."

There are only seven Premier League sides left in the FA Cup and at least one more will come out this round as Chelsea will play against Manchester United.
For championship teams such as QPR – and lower categories – going to the quarterfinals is huge because of the amount of cash prizes and the money they will receive from television, as well. than congratulations.
I do not see Steve McClaren's team qualify for the last eight.
QPR is in a bad league and has lost its last five games, but I also think that Watford will be able to manage his physique, while having more quality.
The prediction of Lawro: 1-2
The prediction of Big Zuu: 0-2
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: 0-2
SATURDAY
Brighton v Derby County (12.30 GMT)

Who did they beat? | ||
4R: West Brom (C) A / r | 4R: Accrington (L1) A | |
3R: Bournemouth (PL) A | 3R: Southampton (PL) A / r |
Derby has just come out of the championship playoffs, but I do not think that matters much at the moment.
They will not qualify for an automatic promotion at the moment, but they still have a decent season and, as long as they will keep in touch with the top six in the standings at the end of March, they will all have the chances of success.
The Rams have already beaten a Premier League team on the South Coast, beating Southampton on penalties in the third round.
But I just think Brighton will be waiting for them this weekend, and I think we'll see their manager, Chris Hughton, pick a solid lineup for that tie.
The Seagulls need a positive result to rebuild after their poor form in the league, and I think they will have one.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-1
The prediction of Big Zuu: 1-2
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: 1-1 (Brighton wins on penalties)
AFC Wimbledon v Millwall

1R: Haringey borough (NL) A |
Both teams beat the Premier League in the final round, but none of them are in great shape in the league.
I think this one will be very tight, but I just feel that Millwall will accept penalties.
Having seen them play in the championship this season, they are very difficult to face and they will not be scared by the prospect of going to Kingsmeadow.
The prediction of Lawro: 1-1 (Millwall wins penalties)
The prediction of Big Zuu: 0-1
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: 0-2

Manchester City came out of the FA Cup in favor of a League One team, Wigan, at this stage of last season, and City boss Pep Guardiola will be wary of a new shock.
Guardiola can bring a lot of changes to his team without seriously weakening him, but he must choose a side capable of dealing with Newport's approach.
One would think that he will know what to expect – the Welsh will seek to put the ball in the surface as quickly as possible, and the throw at Rodney Parade is not great either.
City has to deal with it, and the fact that there are no reruns from this round adds an extra advantage to this tie, as it will be settled that night. they drew in the fourth round last season and won at Wembley.
I still think City will do the job well. I can not see him taking Newport too lightly.
The prediction of Lawro: 0-2
The prediction of Big Zuu: It's a man a little tense. I'm sorry for my Welsh brothers. I feel that City will arrive and become the dominant force. 0-6
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: City is now again at the top of the table and I think Pep Guardiola wants to win everything – so I do not think this City team will fail. I think the best that Newport can do here is maybe to score a goal, but my prediction is 1 to 3. The dream is over, I'm sorry.
SUNDAY
Bristol City v Wolves (13:00 GMT)

---|---|---|

4R: Bolton (C) H | 4R: Shrewsbury (L1) H / r | |
3R: Huddersfield (PL) H | 3R: Liverpool (PL) H |
The Wolves had the best chances against Newcastle on Monday and should probably have won this game, but the big advantage for them is that they have come back to a point.
Their late tying goal was not exactly a typical Nuno Espirito Santo goal, but he did not care – his team managed to score a point.
The Nuno players have already shown that they could get rid of Shrewsbury on the last lap. It's not going to be a cultural shock for them, however, because Bristol City is not just saying it all-out, they're trying to play midfield.
In terms of form, City also steals absolutely, with nine consecutive wins in all competitions, but I would still like to help the Wolves find a way to pbad.
The prediction of Lawro: 0-1
The prediction of Big Zuu: 0-3
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: 1-2
Doncaster v Crystal Palace (16:00 GMT)

1R: Chorley (NL) H / r |
Doncaster is in the fifth round for the first time in 63 years and they deserve it fully. They beat my lot, Preston, in the third round for beginners.
The Rovers will also appreciate their chances in this tie: they go well in Ligue 1, they are at home and there will be a good atmosphere.
There is also a lot of money to be won, which would make a huge difference for a club of this size.
Crystal Palace will be ready for all the above, however. In terms of defense, they are very well organized and I think they played well also in terms of attacks.
Wilfried Zaha could be suspended when he loses his appeal against the red card against Southampton, but Michy Batshuayi is eligible and I think Palace will win in 90 minutes.
The prediction of Lawro: 0-1
The prediction of Big Zuu: I do not see any giant killing here. 0-2
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: The dream of Doncaster is alive and well for me. Palace has an excellent offensive team, but everyone thinks it looks like a banana peel. 1-1 (Palace wins on penalties)
Swansea v Brentford (16:00 GMT)
Championship (12th) | v | Championship (15th) |
---|---|---|
Who did they beat? | ||
4R: Gillingham (L1) H | 4R: Barnet (NL) H / r | |
3R: Aston Villa (C) A | 3R: Oxford (L1) H |
It's the battle of the teams at the mid-table of the Championship, and I think it will be as tight as their position in the league suggests.
The form outside Brentford has been mediocre, but I do not think it makes a big difference here. I am more interested in the Bees' series of results in general because they are part of those Championship teams who tend to go on long races where they are very good or bad.
At the moment, they are pretty good – they have lost only one of their last 12 games in all competitions – so I support Brentford to stay undefeated and get penalties.
The prediction of Lawro: 1-1 (Brentford to win penalties)
The prediction of Big Zuu: 2-1
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: 2-0

Chelsea's performance was pathetic in the 6-0 defeat of Manchester City last weekend.
Whatever the future holds for Mauricio Sarri, the boss of the Blues, he did not use the way he used N & # 39; Golo Kante in this game.
Sarri went to the home of the champions, knowing how good they were, with a midfielder who is one of the best in the world to protect his defense in his team – but he has once again removed from the position.
It's as if the boss of Chelsea thought that he was not playing against Jorginho at the base of his midfield, "Sarri-ball" would not work.
Well, I'm sorry – the first thing you do when you go to City is to try not to get beaten, and the best thing Chelsea had to do was play Kante in his best position.
It's a good match for Chelsea, though. Whatever their players think of their coach and his tactics, they will not lack motivation for a home game against Manchester United.
One of the reasons Paris St-Germain won Tuesday at Old Trafford is that they were very effective in stopping United, but also in keeping the ball.
They were just too smart for United and were almost going to play with them at the end.
It will be interesting to see how United's acting chief, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, reacts to his first defeat, as he had an outstanding race.
As a result of this result, there are two big games: this one and the home league match against Liverpool next weekend. These games are becoming huge for him because they are very important for the United season.
Yes, I know that people keep pointing at different games and say that they are the real test for Solskjaer, but that kind of pressure is work-related.
The type of match that United managers are judged, whether temporary or not, is the PSG Champions League, Chelsea FA Cup and Liverpool league. If he loses all three, then of course, people will begin to question him.
Now everyone is watching him and asking if he and his players can forget about PSG's game and go to Chelsea to win, which is never easy, no matter who the Stamford Bridge manager is.
I will actually go with Chelsea to get through. It may seem odd after what I just said about them, but that's how things are going for them right now.
Let's not forget that Chelsea has some excellent players and I think that they can cause trouble to United.
The prediction of Lawro: 2-1
The prediction of Big Zuu: 0-2
Prediction of Trevor Nelson: 3-2
