FA Cup fourth round could see Arsenal away to Manchester City; Gunners must beat Oxford to set up blockbuster tie after City thrashed Chelsea; Man Utd will host Paul Ince’s Reading, while Liverpool will travel to Brighton if they win their replay against Wolves; Tottenham go to Preston
Arsenal will face a huge FA Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester City at the Etihad if they beat Oxford United on Monday night.
City thrashed Chelsea 4-0 on Sunday and will now play the Gunners on the weekend of the 28/29 January – if Mikel Arteta’s side can see off League One Oxford.
Elsewhere in the fourth round, former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince – who won seven major trophies during a six-year spell with the club – will return to Old Trafford as manager of Reading, while Liverpool will travel to Brighton if they win their replay at Wolves following a controversial draw at Anfield on Saturday.
Tottenham – who have not won the FA Cup since 1991 but may feel the draw has opened up given Chelsea’s exit and City’s potential clash with Arsenal – travel to Championship side Preston, while 2021 winners Leicester face a trip to League Two’s Walsall.
Premier League strugglers Southampton have been handed a home tie against Blackpool – who thrashed Nottingham Forest in the third round – and West Ham go to League One side Derby, who are unbeaten in 16 matches.
