FA Cup fourth round draw: Arsenal to face Manchester United, Palace drawn against Tottenham

The FA Cup is edging towards its climax in May and it has already started to cut away some of the Premier League sides.

Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, all safely made their way through to the fourth round without a hitch.

However, Fulham were knocked out by League Two Oldham Athletic while Sheffield United were the scalp of non-league Barnet at Bramall Lane.

Without a host of blockbuster ties in the third-round, the next stage, made up of 32 teams, could see some larger clashes in addition to the usual upsets and shocks.

Replays between Sheffield Wednesday and Luton, Newcastle and Blackburn, Shrewsbury and Stoke will take place on Tuesday 15 January or Wednesday 16 January.

When is the draw?

The fourth round draw will take place following Wolves vs Liverpool, so around 10:00pm GMT.
