The draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup has been carried out.

30 of the 32 third round fixtures have been completed at the time of writing. Nottingham Forest and Arsenal are set to clash just after the draw, while Manchester United and Aston Villa will face off for a place in the fourth round on Monday.

The biggest shock of the round came at St James’ Park, as Newcastle United were knocked out by League One Cambridge United.

Sixth-tier Kidderminster Harriers also pulled off an upset, coming from behind to eliminate Championship side Reading.

Boreham Wood are the only other non-league club remaining, having knocked out AFC Wimbledon.

There will be 14 or 15 Premier League sides in the fourth round. Newcastle, Leeds United, Burnley and Watford were all eliminated.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all suffered scares at home to Shrewsbury Town and Morecambe respectively, but managed to come from behind to progress. Meanwhile, Manchester City and Chelsea made it through without too many problems.

There are up to four all-Premier League ties in the fourth round. Everton were drawn against Brentford, Tottenham face Brighton & Hove Albion, and Wolverhampton Wanderers will play Norwich City.

Meanwhile, holders Leicester City will travel to either Nottingham Forest or Arsenal, depending on the result of their third-round tie.

The fixtures will take place between February 4/7, 2022.
