Tottenham Hotspur to host FA Cup holders Manchester City in fourth round

FA Cup holders Manchester City have been drawn away against Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round.

The Citizens began the defence of their trophy by cruising to a 5-0 victory over Championship outfit Huddersfield Town at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's side's reward is a tricky trip to Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham, who edged past Burnley by a 1-0 scoreline on home soil last Friday.

There are three other all-Premier League ties in the fourth round, with Chelsea drawn at home against Aston Villa, Fulham hosting to Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion drawn away against Sheffield United.

Elsewhere, top-flight leaders Liverpool have received a favourable home draw as they will take on either Norwich City of the Championship or League One outfit Bristol Rovers at Anfield.

The winners of a third-round replay between Newport County and non-league Eastleigh will be rewarded with a fourth-round tie at home against Manchester United, while National League South side Maidstone United – the lowest-ranked team left in the competition – will travel to Championship promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town.

All fourth-round ties are scheduled to be played on the weekend of January 27.
