It’s Manchester United vs Wigan tonight – but first, the fourth round draw for the FA Cup will be live…

Perhaps the tie of the third round, tactically at least, was Liverpool beating Arsenal away after taking a battering in the first half…

Here’s how they did it – courtesy of FFT’s Adam Clery.

The big winners over the weekend? Maidstone United

Who says the magic of the Cup is dead?

Both are in the hat tonight.

It’s at this point in the night that FourFourTwo reminds you how great Arsene Wenger was…

Aside from Maidstone, the only other non-league side in the draw are Eastleigh

FFT’s very own Matthew Ketchell had a bout of Cup fever over the weekend, as he and his beloved Toon made the short trip to Sunderland…

Here’s Ketch’s photo diary of his trip to the Stadium of Light with thousands of other Geordies.

Happy with that draw?

That concludes our live blog – and some great ties to look forward to.

A tough game for Maidstone, with the sixth-tier giant killers heading to high-flying Ipswich in the Championship. That may be nothing compared to Eastleigh, should they get through, however: they may be hosting Manchester United.

Tottenham against Manchester City may well be the tie of the round and the holders have reason to fear Spurs: Guardiola doesn’t have the best record against the north Londoners. 

Which game are you looking forward to most?
