Holders Manchester United will continue the defence of their FA Cup with a fourth-round tie at home to Wigan while Arsenal face a tricky trip to either Norwich or Southampton.

Premier League sides were largely kept apart in the draw but Manchester City, who beat West Ham 5-0 at the London Stadium in the third round, could face top-flight opposition again as they were pitted away to the winners of the replay between Crystal Palace and Bolton.

Liverpool will host Wolves at Anfield if they can overcome Plymouth in their replay, while Chelsea will also enjoy home advantage again after being handed a west London derby against Sky Bet Championship side Brentford.
