The Premier League big clubs have been kept apart in the draw for the FA Cup fourth round, with holders Arsenal at home to Burnley, Manchester United handed a tricky away game at Derby County and Chelsea due to travel to face the winners of the replay between Northampton and MK Dons.

Meanwhile the only non-league side left in the competition, Eastleigh, will entertain Leeds if they beat Bolton in their replay.

Arsenal, seeking to become the first club since Blackburn in 1886 to win the Cup for three seasons running, take on Burnley for the third time in the last eight years in the competition, with Arsène Wenger’s side winning the previous two ties without conceding a goal

In need of some silverware to lift the mood at Old Trafford, Manchester United will not relish facing Paul Clement’s Derby, currently second in the Championship. Neighbours City will go to the winners of the replay between struggling Aston Villa and League Two Wycombe.

Oxford, the big giant-killers of the third round after beating Swansea, earned another home draw, this time against League Two Newport County or Blackburn.

The only definite all-Premier League tie is Stoke’s trip to Crystal Palace, though Liverpool will play West Ham at Anfield if they can beat Exeter in their replay.

League Two sides Yeovil and Carlisle will replay next Tuesday for the right to play Everton at home.
