Sunday's FA Cup fixtures - a comprehensive guide to today's matches

In this season's continuation of the FA Cup competition, Sunday is set to be filled with exciting games.

With the draw for the fifth round of the cup during Sunday's schedule, sixth-tier Maidstone United is assured placement. However, the two most triumphant English clubs, Manchester United and Liverpool, have not yet secured their spots.

This weekend, Manchester United and Liverpool will face off against non-Premier League competitors for a chance at the top 16. Two clubs from the Championship promotion chasers are also slated to play, along with the long-awaited first Black Country derby in over two years.

Here are the details you'll need for Sunday's games.

Since October 2011, Wolverhampton Wanderers have not competed in front of fans at their local rival's home. In that year, West Bromwich Albion triumphed comfortably over 25,000 spectators with goals from Chris Brunt and Peter Odemwingie.

Currently sitting in 11th place, closer to the Champions League than the relegation zone, the Premier League guests of Gary O'Neil are optimally set for a cup run. In contrast, the Baggies are entwined in a highly contested race for a Championship play-off spot.

It's worth noting, the last Wolverhampton manager to take home a win from the Hawthorns was Mark McGhee in 1996, when O'Neil was a mere 16 years old.

In the Championship table, Southampton outranks Watford by 18 places and 6 points. However, when they played at Vicarage Road last December, the match ended in a draw. The only score was a late equaliser by Rhys Healey in stoppage time.

Watford narrowly beat non-League Chesterfield in the FA Cup third round three weeks ago with a goal in the 95th minute. Meanwhile, Southampton had an easy victory over Walsall, extending an unbeaten streak now at 21 games.

Jurgen Klopp's farewell tour appropriately opens with a game against a well-known acquaintance, Norwich City manager David Wagner. Wagner was Klopp's best man at his wedding, and the pair, former teammates at Mainz, have been friends for 25 years.

Still, Klopp has always had the upper hand when the two have faced each other professionally. Wagner's Huddersfield Town team lost all three Premier League meetings with Liverpool from 2017 to 2018, failing to score a goal each time.

It's no surprise that Klopp laughed off Wagner's request for him to rest key players for the match at Anfield. 'I told him that doesn't help,' warned the Liverpool manager.

Graham Coughlan, manager of League Two's Newport County, has been awaiting the game against Manchester United at Rodney Parade for many years. As a dedicated supporter of the Red Devils, Coughlan admitted to always hoping to draw Manchester United in the FA Cup as a player, coach, and manager.

His wish was finally granted when Newport triumphed over non-League Eastleigh to secure the coveted pairing on Sunday. It is yet to be seen whether Coughlan will appreciate the challenge of matching up against a Premier League team by the end of the game.
