Perhaps our FA Cup third round exit at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur was a blessing in disguise as the Londoner's have been drawn away to Manchester United in the fourth round.

Everton's trip to Merseyside neighbours Liverpool is the pick of the draw, but no doubt, Steve Bruce will be glad to have escaped a visit to his former club as the Latics are likely to get the weekend off.

Here is the fourth round draw in full.

Liverpool v Everton
Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur
Hull City or Newcastle United v Millwall or Crewe Alexandra
Sunderland v Blyth Spartans or Blackburn Rovers
Hartlepool United v West Ham United
Leyton Orient or Sheffield United v Charlton Athletic or Norwich City
Cardiff City v Arsenal
Portsmouth or Bristol City v Histon or Swansea City
Chelsea or Southend United v Ipswich Town
Cheltenham Town or Doncaster Rovers v Aston Villa
West Bromwich Albion or Peterborough v QPR or Burnley
Torquay United v Coventry City
Kettering Town v Fulham
Watford v Leicester City or Crystal Palace
Derby County v Nottingham Forest
Birmingham City or Wolverhampton Wanderers v Middlesbrough
