Are any games being postponed?
As of 31 December, none of the FA Cup matches scheduled for the following weekend have been cancelled.
But with the outbreak of COVID-19 in many clubs across the country, that could all change in the coming days.
Replays have been eliminated with the current fixture pile at this stage of the competition, so matches that proceed will be decided with extra time and penalties if necessary.
