FA Cup draw LIVE! Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool learn fourth-round fate

Newcastle, West Ham and Man City among the other Premier League giants, along with giant-killers Macclesfield, waiting to learn their fates

The FA Cup fourth round draw takes place tonight as Premier League and EFL clubs will discover their fates. There will be a new name on the trophy this season after holders Crystal Palace were knocked out by non-league Macclesfield in what is, perhaps, the greatest shock in competition's history. The National League North side are the lowest-ranked team left and will be eyeing another plum tie.

Arsenal, the record FA Cup winners, are safely through as their bid to land an unprecedented quadruple remains on track, while Chelsea will hope to avoid an exit at this stage of the competition for a second season in succession. Some big names are missing from the fourth round draw after both Manchester United and Tottenham suffered losses at home over the weekend, with the third round delivering on its promise of drama.

Last season's beaten finalists Manchester City put TEN past Exeter to progress, and the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brighton can begin to eye a long cup run. Former England internationals Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole will carry out the proceedings. Follow the FA Cup fourth round draw live below!
