The FA Cup fifth round gets underway today with four ties down for decision.

Arsenal are one of two Premier League sides in action as they host Blackburn at 3pm. The Gunners beat the Lancashire club on the way to winning the 2005 FA Cup - their last major trophy. 

Arsene Wenger is likely to rest Jack Wilshere as he recovers from a thigh injury, with the Champions League knockout tie with Bayern Munich also in mind. However Thomas Vermaelen should be back from an ankle injury.

Oldham who beat Liverpool in the fourth round will be hoping to take the scalp of the blue side of Merseyside when they host Everton from 6pm.

David Moyes will be wary of the the League One side after an FA Cup defeat to the same opposition in 2008.

MK Dons play Barnsley at 3pm with the League One and Championship sides eager for a rare FA Cup quarter-final place. Lower division teams face each other in the early kick-off with non league Luton taking on Millwall in a repeat of the controversial 1985 encounter.
