Bad news first: the FA Cup fourth round will probably be a snoozer. None of the major clubs will play each other, with the best possible game being Arsenal vs. (potentially) a much more boring than usual Southampton team. Yeesh.
The good news: a couple of upsets could turn the whole thing on its head. Say Norwich City get by Southampton and then upset Arsenal, or Wycombe Wanderers beat Tottenham, or Brentford beat Chelsea, or Crystal Palace or Bolton take down Manchester City, or Wigan knock out current FA Cup champs Manchester United? That would be fun, right? RIGHT?
The fourth round will be played in late January. Here's the full draw:
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Wycombe Wanderers
Derby County vs. Leicester City
Oxford vs. Newcastle or Birmingham
Sutton United or AFC Wimbledon vs. Cambridge or Leeds United
Plymouth Argyle or Liverpool vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers
Southampton or Norwich vs. Arsenal
Lincoln or Ipswich vs. Brighton
Chelsea vs. Brentford
Manchester United vs. Wigan
Millwall vs. Watford
Rochdale vs. Huddersfield
Burnley or Sunderland vs. Fleetwood or Bristol City
Blackburn vs. Barnsley or Blackpool
Crystal Palace or Bolton vs. Manchester City
Fulham vs. Hull City
Middlesbrough vs. Accrington Stanley
