The FA Cup fourth round draw was made on Sunday night ahead of the third round clash between Manchester City and Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
The tie winners are likely to face Arsenal, who are scheduled to play Oxford on Monday.
If City and Arsenal advance, both sides will meet twice in a span of just over two weeks as they are locked in the battle for the Premier League title.
Clash of cards on top of the table
The Gunners have a 5-point lead at the top and will host the defending champions on February 15 at the Emirates in what promises to be a delicious clash.
Manchester United, who beat Everton 3-1 on Friday in the third round, will host Reading led by former player Paul Ince. Eric ten Hag’s side are in fine form and should be favorites to advance.
Tottenham Hotspur were far from their best in their 1-0 win over League One side Portsmouth in Preston. Harry Kane scored the winner for Spurs equaling Jimmy Greaves’ all-time record of 265 goals for the north London side.
Brighton will face winners Liverpool and Wolves who played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Anfield on Saturday night. Liverpool, the champions of the competition have struggled this season, will be looking to avoid an early exit when they travel to Wolves for the replay.
Fulham and Leicester City, who managed to avoid potential banana skins away from home on Saturday, take on Sunderland and Walsall respectively. Fighters Southampton, who are bottom of the table in the Premier League standings, will host Championship fighters Blackpool.
David Moyes’ West Ham United, who needed a late goal from Said Benrahma to knock out Brentford, another Premier League side, will travel to Derby County.
Surprise package Wrexham, who won a seven-goal thriller 4-3 at Coventry, host Championship team Sheffield United, who are chasing promotion in the Premier League this season.
Given Wrexham’s giant carnage over the weekend, the non-league side will be looking to punch above their weight once again.
