FA Cup draw LIVE: Manchester United, Man City, Wrexham and more learn fifth-round fate
Non-league Wrexham are still in the FA Cup and face Sheffield United in a replay following their thrilling 3-3 draw - with a home tie against Tottenham Hotspur up for grabs
Non-league Wrexham will get a dream FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round, if they defeat Sheffield United in a replay next week.
Wrexham - who are owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - are the only non-league side left in the competition but they were denied a famous win on Sunday evening at the Racecourse Ground as Sheffield United scored a late equaliser in a 3-3 thriller.
Elsewhere, Manchester City were drawn away to Bristol City, in one of only two complete ties to be made on Monday evening. Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Premier League leaders Arsenal on Friday night, while Bristol City knocked out West Brom.
Manchester United were drawn at home against West Ham, who went on to defeat Derby County in the final fourth-round tie on Monday night. It’s currently the only all-Premier League fixture, but that will change if Fulham defeat Sunderland in their replay and set up a match against Leeds.
