The FA Cup third round is underway, with the fourth-round draw taking place on Monday, January 12 at 6.45pm on TNT Sports 1
The FA Cup is heating up as Premier League and Championship teams enter the fray in the third round of the tournament.
The road to Wembley is getting more intense, with the stakes high and the competition delivering its signature blend of epic showdowns and giant-killings.
Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions, are set to face Barnsley, who famously booted the Reds out of the cup the last time the two sides met back in 2008. Elsewhere, holders Crystal Palace kick off their title defence against Macclesfield, one of only three non-league teams still standing, alongside Boreham Wood and Weston-super-Mare.
Manchester City face Exeter City, Arsenal square off against Portsmouth and Chelsea go head-to-head with Charlton, offering plenty of opportunities for another classic cup upset. There’s also a trio of tantalising all-Premier League clashes, with Manchester United battling Brighton, Tottenham locking horns with Aston Villa and Newcastle going toe-to-toe with Bournemouth.
Once the dust settles on these matches, all eyes will turn to the fourth round. Here, Daily Star Sport provides all the details you need about the fourth round draw.
