Macclesfield will host Premier League opposition again in the fourth round of the FA Cup as Brentford visit Moss Rose.
The non-league side caused one of the competition's great upsets in round three, after eliminating Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Macclesfield became the first non-league side since 1909 to eliminate theFA Cup holders, with a 117-place gap between the teams in the English football pyramid. Paul Dawson and Isaac Buckley-Rickett's got the goals to seal an unforgettable win for the National League North side. Their reward is a clash with a Brentford team who currently sit fifth in the Premier League table.
After beating Manchester United at Old Trafford,Brighton face another tough trip to the North West to face Liverpool at Anfield. Liverpool beat Barnsley 4-1 on Monday night to book their place in the fourth round.
There's another all-Premier League match-up as Newcastle hostAston Villa at St James' Park, while Arsenal welcome Wigan Athletic to the Emirates.
Elsewhere, new head coach Liam Rosenior takesChelsea to take on former club Hull City, and Birmingham City host Leeds United in an intriguing tie. Manchester City could face a cup clash against neighbours Salford City, if the latter can progress Swindon. That fixture was postponed at the weekend due to a frozen pitch.
TheFA Cup fourth-round ties will be played across the weekend of February 14th and 15th 2026.
