FA Cup draw: Liverpool travel to Plymouth

Premier League leaders Liverpool will travel to the Championship’s bottom club Plymouth Argyle in the fourth round of the FA Cup, with Leyton Orient or Derby County drawn to face Manchester City.

Plymouth will be enthused by the prospect of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk potentially lining up at Home Park after the second-tier club dispatching Brentford 1-0 in the third round on Saturday.

And whoever City face, in-form League One side Orient or mid-table Championship outfit Derby, will hope to provide sterner opposition than Salford City who were beaten 8-0 by Pep Guardiola’s men.

FA Cup holders Manchester United‘s reward for beating Arsenal on penalties is an opportunity to face Leicester City, managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was in charge at United on an interim basis earlier this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion will play Chelsea, Everton take on Bournemouth and Aston Villa host Tottenham Hotspur in three tough clashes between Premier League teams.

Newcastle United face a tricky trip to League One leaders Birmingham City, while Fulham must travel to either Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic.

Remaining third round matches take place on Monday and Tuesday. The fourth round will be played Feb. 7-10.
