The fifth round of the FA Cup saw little to no surprises with all but two English Premier League advancing to the last eight.

Five EPL teams continued on the road to Wembley on Saturday in the fifth round of the FA Cup. After Leicester and Chelsea won on Friday, big and small teams in the top flight played across the UK for a sport in the last eight.

Saturday’s matches were a balance of boring, actionless football, mixed with some phenomenal offensive performances from teams who have lacked it in the league.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Swansea

It was a physical battle in Hillsborough between the Owls and the Swans that ended in a 0-0 draw.

The best chance came late in the 2nd half, with a point-blank header from defender Mike van der Hoorn, which was saved by Wednesday’s Cameron Dawson.

The two sides will meet at Liberty Stadium for a replay match. This will be Swansea’s third consecutive replay match in Wales, in this year’s tournament.

The last two were 2-1 and 8-1 wins over Wolves and Notts County, respectively.
