FA Cup fourth round draw details confirmed as Hull City eye magic run
Hull City will be ball number 18 in the fourth-round draw for the FA Cup, provided they can overcome League Two side Doncaster Rovers on Sunday.
The high-noon MKM Stadium clash against Grant McCann's Rovers was picked for international television broadcast and will provide Ruben Selles' side with the chance to progress to the fourth round since the 2019/20 campaign when the Tigers were eventually beaten by Chelsea.
It has been confirmed that the draw will take place at the conclusion of one of the eye-catching ties of the third round, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

That game kicks off at 3pm, shortly after City will hope to have seen off the League Two promotion-hopefuls and booked their place in the next round.
It's expected the draw, which will be hosted by Kelly Somers and ties drawn by Martin Keown and Mark Schwarzer, will happen around 5pm, unless there's extra-time in the all-Premier League clash which will push it back.
The 32 ties across the third round kick off on Thursday night with Sheffield United hosting Cardiff City, Everton facing Peterborough United and Fulham hosting Watford, with the final one coming on Monday night at The Den when the Tigers' opponents next weekend, Millwall, host Dagenham and Redbridge.
Should City or Cardiff progress through to the next round, then their scheduled meeting at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, February 8, will be postponed to a later date, with that weekend assigned for the next stage of the world's oldest cup competition.
