• Manchester United face Arsenal in the match of the round at Old Trafford. United forward Louis Saha is still out with a cartilage problem but Wayne Rooney returns after being suspended for last week's derby against Manchester City.

Arsenal are likely to be without Thomas Rosicky (hamstring) for their fourth FA Cup meeting with United in the last six seasons. Abou Diaby is out with a calf strain.

• Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando Torres may not be risked for the visit of Championship (second division) side Barnsley.

He is back in training after injuring a thigh playing for Spain last week but manager Rafael Benitez may rest him until Inter visit Anfield in the Champions League next week.

• Portsmouth visit Preston North End, who are struggling in the Championship but won 4-1 at Premier League team Derby County in the fourth round.

Striker David Nugent, who has struggled to make an impact since leaving Preston for Portsmouth last year, has recovered from a hernia injury and could be in the squad, especially with new signing Jermain Defoe being Cup-tied.

• Two clubs formerly managed by Bryan Robson meet at Bramall Lane where Championship side Sheffield United, who parted company with Robson on Thursday, take on Middlesbrough.

Boro's main doubt for the first FA Cup tie between the two clubs for 85 years is Tuncay Sanli (hamstring).
