Holders Man City face Spurs in FA Cup 4th round

FA Cup holders Manchester City face a tricky trip to Tottenham Hotspur, while in-form Aston Villa have been drawn to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the fourth round.

Jurgen Klopp’s team will host the winners of the replay between Norwich City and Bristol Rovers.

Sixth-tier Maidstone United, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, travel to second-tier Ipswich Town.

The winners of the replay between Crystal Palace and Everton will host either Luton Town or Bolton Wanderers.

Twelve-time FA Cup winners Manchester United were playing at Wigan Athletic on Monday with the winners facing a fourth-round match at either Newport County or Eastleigh.
