MANCHESTER UNITED WILL travel to fourth-tier minnows Yeovil Town in the FA Cup fourth round after this evening’s draw.
United beat Derby County on Friday in their first match of the tournament, and would equal Arsenal’s all-time record of 13 Cup titles with victory in May’s final.
Yeovil are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition as they face a battle to avoid relegation from the Football League.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool host fellow Premier League outfit West Bromwich Albion, while Chelsea will take on Newcastle United if they get through a replay against Norwich City.
League Two side Newport were rewarded for their third-round victory over Leeds United with a home tie against eight-time winners Spurs, who sit fifth in the Premier League.
The ties will be played over the final weekend of January.

- Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion

Congratulations JVDF. What a humble and decent guy.
His self improvement over the last few years has been awesome. Brilliant example for any kid & no ego as well. Delighted for him.
Sure a couple of drop goals would do no harm either! Keep that humility Josh as it speaks more about you than anything else! Great player and person!
A credit to his family and the Ireland team leaves nothing on the park gives his all for the green
Hilariously this would also keep Sexton level with ROG at the top of points scorers table. So I think a lot of Munster fans would be in favour of giving JVF kicking duties on Saturday
@Johnny 5: Top points in the 6n championship, ROG would still have the top ‘all time points’ spot, by some 60 points.
@Johnny 5: v good
Murray,
Great story well told, as always. Keep them coming.
