FA Cup R4 draw: Man Utd, Villa look to join Liverpool with home tie; Tottenham face tough Prem test

Manchester United or Aston Villa will look to join Liverpool in having a home tie for the fourth round of the FA Cup, while Tottenham face a fellow Premier League side.

Man Utd and Villa face off on Monday following Sunday’s draw and they will battle to host Middlesbrough. Liverpool, meanwhile, will play Boro’s Championship rivals Cardiff at Anfield.

Elsewhere in the fourth round, there are three confirmed all-Premier League ties.

Tottenham host Brighton in north London, Brentford travel to Goodison Park to face Everton and Wolves play host to Norwich.

Arsenal versus the holders Leicester could be a fourth all-top-flight tie if the Gunners can beat Nottingham Forest in Sunday’s final tie.

Manchester City, who kicked the third round off on Friday by beating Swindon, play Fulham at the Etihad Stadium.

Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Southampton will also play their fourth-round ties at home.

The Blues play Plymouth, Palace entertain Hartlepool and Southampton will have to beat Coventry to get to the fifth round.
