Holders Manchester City will have to end their hoodoo at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to progress in the FA Cup fourth round as non-league Eastleigh could face Manchester United. 

City have lost on all five previous visits since Spurs' new stadium opened in 2019, without scoring a single goal. Tottenham, who progressed to the last 32 with a 1-0 win over Burnley on Friday, struck late to snatch a 3-3 draw when the sides last met in December at the Etihad. United will face either Eastleigh of the National League or League Two Newport County, who will face off in a third round replay on January 16. Chelsea host Aston Villa in the other standout tie.

Maidstone, the only other non-league side still in the draw, travel to Championship high-flyers Ipswich. Premier League leaders Liverpool will host Norwich or Bristol Rovers after beating Arsenal 2-0 in the pick of the third round ties.
