FA Cup fourth round draw LIVE: Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City learn opponents after Arsenal vs Man Utd clash


Anfield reception ‘biggest compliment’ for Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold

The draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup is set to take place as the remaining sides find out their fate.

The draw follows the conclusion of Arsenal’s tie against Manchester United. Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are among the Premier League teams to have already booked their place in round four, with Plymouth Argyle pulling off the shock of the round so far with victory away to Brentford on Saturday.

The clash between Arsenal and United features on a Sunday afternoon slate also containing fixtures between Newcastle and Bromley, Crystal Palace and Stockport and Ipswich and Bristol Rovers, with just two more games to be played this weekend.

Southampton host Swansea later today before Millwall face Dagenham and Redbridge in the final scheduled encounter of the round on Monday night. However, inclement weather postponed games between Mansfield and Wigan and Preston and Charlton, with those fixtures resheduled for this midweek.

FA Cup draw

Daniel Farke hailed Harrogate’s defensive resilience “in the game of their lives” after Leeds reached the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win at Elland Road.

Largie Ramazani settled the first-ever competitive encounter between the two Yorkshire clubs by heading home a second-half winner to ensure promotion-chasing Leeds avoided an upset.

Farke said: “That’s the main thing in a cup competition, to progress into the next round.

“It’s never easy because obviously for them it’s the game of the season, for some of them perhaps even the game of their lives.

“A packed Elland Road and they’re excited, and for us it was important to use this game to rest and rotate a few players, to give minutes away and bring players back in after injury.”

FA Cup draw

Coventry manager Frank Lampard praised his young squad’s character after they beat Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the FA Cup third round.

Liam Kitching put the Sky Blues ahead in the first half before Anthony Musaba equalised deep into stoppage time to force extra time and penalties.

Oliver Dovin saved Olaf Kobacki’s penalty after Jamal Lowe had spooned his effort over the crossbar to send last season’s semi-finalists into the fourth round.

Lampard said: “We’re really young lads – Norman (Bassette) to step up and Oliver (Dovin) to make a save, even people like Josh (Eccles) to take one.

“I know some have taken them before but they were very confident to put their hand up to take them, which is obviously a great sign. And I think we deserved it.

“Sheffield Wednesday are a good opponent and they played well but I think we deserved it for how we approached the whole game.”

FA Cup draw

Non-league Tamworth took Tottenham to extra time in the FA Cup third round, before an unfortunate own goal and late strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson sent the Premier League side through.

Part-time Tamworth, who play in the fifth tier of English football, produced a remarkable performance to frustrate their opponents at The Lamb. They even had chances to win the tie late on, as Thomas McGlinchey saw a shot blocked by Yves Bissouma from inside the box.

It was Tottenham who had dominated the contest, though, and Ange Postecoglou was forced to send on star internationals Son Heung-min and Kuluseveki after his starting line-up was unable to find the opening goal in normal time.

And in the 100th minute, Tamworth switched off at a free-kick and were punished when a loose ball deflected into the net off Nathan Tshikuna. Moments later, Kulusevski fired low into the corner before Johnson added another to spare Tottenham’s blushes and deny Tamworth a historic upset.

Jamie Vardy celebrated his 38th birthday with a successful penalty as top-flight Leicester routed QPR 6-2. James Justin’s double, coupled with goals from Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, Vardy and Wout Faes, sent the hosts through, although Jonathan Varane and Rayan Kolli briefly dragged it back to 3-2.

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy feels his side are “getting better” after they ended a run of five consecutive defeats.

He said: “A performance where you can score six goals is always a good performance. It’s not easy, especially against a QPR side that’s very well managed, on and off the ball, and on a great run of form. To be able to score six against them is a compliment to the team.

Dango Ouattara’s double helped ease Bournemouth to a 5-1 over West Brom with Jason Kluivert, Antoine Semenyo and substitute Daniel Jebbison also scoring after Caleb Taylor had headed the visitors in front.

Boss Andoni Iraola hailed his flying wingers after Bournemouth made light of their striker crisis with a thumping 5-1 FA Cup third-round win over West Brom.

“The forwards played very well, most of them scored goals so it’s really pleasing,” said Iraola.

“Dango has played very well, he has played number nine in his national team. We have players who can help us there even if it is not their best position.

“A lot of players have played in positions they are not used to and everyone has helped us.”

How Bromley earned ‘game of a lifetime’ at Newcastle in FA Cup third round

On 2 December, sitting nervously in Bromley’s boardroom, assistant manager Alan Dunne and CEO Mark Hammond watched the FA Cup third-round draw unfold on a TV screen in the corner. Bromley FC were established 133 years ago and, for the first time in that long history, their club were involved in one of English football’s great rituals.

“We all wanted a massive draw but I thought all the big games had gone,” says Dunne, recalling the tension as the draw dragged on. But one Premier League giant was still out there. Their ears pricked as “Newcastle United” were announced, and when “No 6” followed, they lost their minds, screaming, hugging, beating the table.
