Everton's trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon is the first tie to take place, with both of the Premier League high-fliers eyeing up a trophy this season.

And you can watch the first of our videos in the media player above, as Toffees boss Roberto Martinez and midfielder Leon Osman speak about their season so far and the tough test that lies in store for them.

Wigan look forward to City tie

 

Martinez won The FA Cup last season during his final term as Wigan Athletic boss, beating Manchester City in The Final at Wembley last May.

That was one of the biggest surprises in FA Cup history and there is a repeat of that fixture at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with City having their chance for revenge.

Latics midfield duo James McArthur and Jordi Gomez speak about last season's achievement and their campaign so far in another video feature ahead of that tie.

Hull City were the only team in the Fifth Round who required a replay to secure their quarter final spot, eventually overcoming Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion at the KC Stadium.

Hull City host Sunderland on Sunday

 

And the Tigers will be back on home turf on Sunday when they host Sunderland, a tie which pits Hull boss Steve Bruce against one of his former clubs.

Both Robert Koren and George Boyd have been important players for Bruce this season and they speak about their ambition to reach Wembley with a win over the Black Cats.

Finally, we take a look back at a memorable Sixth Round tie from 2001, when Wycombe Wanderers sprung a massive upset by beating Leicester City at Filbert Street.

Cult hero - Roy Essandoh

 

Their hero that day was striker Roy Essandoh, who was only signed by boss Lawrie Sanchez on a short term contract in the build-up to the game.

And Essandoh is our 'Cult Hero' in this edition of the Sixth Round preview show, as he looks back on a day which will remain unforgettable for him and all Wycombe Wanderers supporters.
