FA Cup fourth round draw: Yeovil face Manchester United, Newport host Spurs
League Two sides Yeovil Town and Newport County were rewarded for third-round victories with home draws against Premier League sides Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
José Mourinho will take his side to Somerset to face Darren Way’s team, currently 21st in the fourth tier and the lowest-ranked team left in the competition. United faced Yeovil in the third round in 2015, winning 2-0 at Huish Park.
Newport County, who shocked Championship side Leeds on Sunday, will welcome eight-time FA Cup winners Tottenham to Rodney Parade. The two sides have not met competitively since a third-round fixture in January 1960.
The two other League Two sides to have sealed their fourth-round places – Notts County and Coventry City – received contrasting draws. Kevin Nolan’s County will host either Wolves or Swansea, but Mark Robins’ side were handed an underwhelming trip to MK Dons after eliminating Stoke.
Premier League leaders Manchester City could face fourth-tier Mansfield if the Stags win their replay with Cardiff, while Liverpool host West Brom and Watford travel to Southampton.
Chelsea will face Newcastle if they can see off Norwich in their third-round replay, and Nottingham Forest will visit Hull City after their win over Arsenal. Brighton face a long trip north to Tony Pulis’s Middlesbrough after their victory over Crystal Palace on Monday evening.
