Fulham beat Leeds 2-0 in the fifth round - they've not eliminated more than one Premier League side in a single FA Cup campaign since 2002-03, when they beat Birmingham and Charlton.

Manchester United are unbeaten in 16 FA Cup home games (W14 D2), since losing 2-1 against Arsenal at this stage of the competition in 2014-15. One of those two draws did result in a penalty shootout defeat, however (against Middlesbrough in February 2022).
