FA Cup draw: Man Utd face fierce rivals Liverpool in huge fourth round clash as holders Arsenal get Saints or Shrewsbury


MANCHESTER UNITED have been drawn against Liverpool in what is the standout tie of the FA Cup fourth round.

The two fierce rivals will meet at Old Trafford on the weekend of January 22-25, just a week after their top-of-the-table Premier League clash at Anfield.

Meanwhile, holders Arsenal will either face Shrewsbury or Southampton after their third round tie was postponed following a coronavirus outbreak at the League Two side.

And 2019 champions Manchester City have been handed a trip to Cheltenham.

Chelsea have landed another favourable tie as they will play Luton at home.

Tottenham are on the road once again with Jose Mourinho’s men to pit their wits against Wycombe Wanderers.

Everton – who haven’t won a trophy since their 1995 FA Cup triumph – will take on Sheffield Wednesday.

Chorley’s reward for knocking out Derby is a home tie against Wolves in a repeat of their 1986 giant-killing, while Scott Parker’s struggling Fulham take on Burnley in an all-Premier League affair.

Crawley – who knocked out Leeds after easing to a 3-0 victory – have been handed a trip to boss John Yems’ former club Bournemouth.

Swansea host Nottingham Forest, with Barnsley to face Norwich in another all Championship match.
