Fourth-round draw roundup: Manchester United face Foxes
The FA Cup holders Manchester United have been drawn to play Leicester at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
United, who defeated Manchester City in last season’s final, have been rewarded with a home tie after their 10 men won at Arsenal on penalties in the third round earlier on Sunday evening. It means a swift return for the former United caretaker manager Ruud van Nistelrooy who departed Old Trafford when Ruben Amorim arrived.
The Premier League leaders Liverpool will travel to the Championship’s bottom club Plymouth, who upset Brentford on Saturday, and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City face an away trip to either Leyton Orient or Derby.
Three all-Premier League ties will see the eight-time winners Chelsea take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium, while Aston Villa host Tottenham and Everton face Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
Exeter, in the fourth round for the first time since 1981, face a tough home tie against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle will play at League One leaders Birmingham.
Ties will be played between 7-10 February.

Preamble
Hello, good evening and welcome to the FA Cup fourth-round draw. What a weekend it’s been so far with goals galore and even some upsets across the country – but it’s not over just yet!
