FA Cup: Man City to face Tottenham as Chelsea meet Aston Villa in fourth round

FA Cup holders, Manchester City, have been drawn away to Tottenham in the fourth round, while Chelsea will host Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Maidstone United – the lowest-ranked side left in the competition – will also travel to Championship high-flyers Ipswich.

There could also be a non-League versus Premier League tie between Eastleigh and Manchester United, if the fifth-tier side win their home third-round replay against League Two Newport after United beat Wigan 2-0 on Monday night.

Newcastle will be going to Fulham, while Liverpool, who beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, will be at home against either Norwich or Bristol Rovers.

City have lost on all five previous visits since Spurs’ new stadium opened in 2019, without scoring a single goal.

Tottenham, who progressed to the last 32 with a 1-0 win over Burnley on Friday, struck late to snatch a 3-3 draw when the sides last met in December at the Etihad.

The draw has also raised the possibility of a Black Country derby between West Brom and Wolves, with the Premier League side needing to win their replay against Brentford to set up a fourth-round tie at the Hawthorns.

The fourth-round matches will be played across the weekend of January 27.
