FA Cup fourth-round draw: Manchester United vs Leicester, Brighton vs Chelsea


FA Cup holders Manchester United will play Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round.

United overcame Arsenal in a dramatic penalty shootout on Sunday and will welcome back their former interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, now at Leicester.

There were three other all-Premier League ties, including Brighton & Hove Albion welcoming Chelsea with Aston Villa taking on Tottenham Hotspur and Everton hosting Bournemouth.

Unlike in previous seasons, there will be no replays a few days later at the home stadium of the original tie’s away team in the event of a draw after 90 minutes. All matches will now be settled on the day, via extra time and, if required, a penalty shootout.
