**The FA Cup fourth round draw produced some tasty ties as the legendary English cup competition prepares for its next stage.**
The third round of the competition, which features the introduction of Premier League teams, kicked off in a huge way on Friday night when Championship Wrexham knocked out Nottingham Forest on penalties, before National League North side Macclesfield Town produced arguably the biggest upset in FA Cup history by beating holders Crystal Palace 2-1 at the Leasing.com Stadium.
Despite 117 places between the two sides, the Silkmen secured their spot in the fourth round and the lowest-ranked side remaining will be desperate for another big clash with Premier League opposition.
Seven-time winners Manchester City laid down a marker with a thumping 10-1 win over Exeter City, the biggest victory from a top-flight team in the competition since 1960.

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle United, Brentford, Chelsea, Brighton, West Ham, Fulham and Leeds United all made it through to their fourth round but both Manchester United and Spurs were dumped out at home.
Liverpool were the final Premier League side in action, hosting Barnsley at Anfield on Monday night. But they were the very first out of the hat and will take on Brighton, who knocked out United with an impressive 2-1 win at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The final 32 teams learned their next opposition thanks to the match-making from former England internationals Joleon Lescott and Steve McManaman who did the draw on TNT Sports with the help of Ally McCoist.
