Manchester United will, once again, face Premier League opposition in the F.A Cup. Sir Alex Ferguson's men will entertain either Spurs of Reading in the fourth round of the competition. The two teams shared a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane on the weekend and now look forward to a replay in Berkshire.
The Royals, a team who have taken this competition lightly in recent years, had Stephen Hunt's late equaliser to thank as they snatched a draw in North London.
United, 2-0 winners at Villa Park, will face the winners of the replay which takes place at the Madjeski Stadium Tuesday week.
The full fourth round draw is as follows:
Arsenal v Stoke City/Newcastle United
Coventry City v Walsall/Millwall
Oldham Athletic v Huddersfield Town
Swindon Town/Barnet v Fulham/Bristol Rovers
Wigan Athletic v Chelsea
Luton Town/Liverpool v Swansea City/Havant & Waterlooville
Southend United v Barnsley
Southampton v Norwich City/Bury
Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur/Reading
Portsmouth v Plymouth Argyle
Derby County/Sheffield Wednesday v Preston North End
Watford v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Peterborough United v Charlton Athletic/West Bromwich Albion
Sheffield United v West Ham United/Manchester City
Mansfield Town v Middlesbrough
Tranmere Rovers/Hereford United v Cardiff City
I'm sure the farce of the League Cup hurt him.
He told Sky: "I'd have been more than happy with a draw at Villa Park as we were just delighted to still be in the hat".
