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.
Coverage continued below with Derby County vs West Ham
Derby 0-0 West Ham
9 mins: Chance! Derby have been a little slack in midfield, just taking too long to release the ball. West Ham recover the ball and send Jarrod Bowen driving towards goal.
Michail Antonio makes a run into the penalty area off the ball but Bowen goes for goal and curls his effort straight at Joe Wildsmith.
Derby 0-0 West Ham
6 mins: Jason Knight cuts in front of Angelo Ogbonna and leans into the defender before going to ground hoping to be awarded a free kick.
The referee lets play go on and West Ham work the ball over to Ben Johnson on the right wing. He combines with Antonio to get into Derby’s half and the big forward wins a throw in.
Derby 0-0 West Ham
3 mins: That could have been an embarassing start for West Ham. They respond in kind though and nick the ball away from Max Bird in midfield before slipping it up to Michail Antonio.
Antonio weaves his way into the right side of the penalty area and hits one at goal. The angle is wrong though and the effort goes wide.
Decent start to the match this.
Kick off: Derby 0-0 West Ham
It’s been over a decade since Derby and West Ham faced each other and it’s the Hammers who get the match underway. They boot the ball long but it’s won by the home side and slotted down the left wing for Tom Barkhuizen.
Barkhuizen drives the ball into the box and pulls it back looking for Jason Knight but Tomas Soucek intercepts and West Ham scramble the ball clear.

David Moyes speaking to ITV
West Ham boss, David Moyes, spoke to ITV ahead of kick off. He explained what he’s expecting from tonight’s match and went through his decision to make six changes to the line-up.
“It’s a great club and we’re looking forward to the game.” said Moyes, “Derby are on a really good run. We need to play well and go about the job the best way we can.
“We did well against Everton and need to follow that up. When you win it makes a big difference.
“When you’ve got a squad of players there are a lot of players that want games and you need to keep them happy. A lot have been champing at the bit so they get their chance.
“We want to build momentum. We have a lot of games coming up and we’re involved in Europe too.”
Pre-match thoughts of Paul Warne
Derby boss, Paul Warne, spoke to ITV before kick off and says he is jealous that he can’t play tonight.
“It’s good for the players, I’m very jealous not to be playing.” said Warne, “I’ve been speaking about expectations and wanting to drive performances. We want a result to take us into the weekend.
“A year ago the fans were protesting in the streets and it’s important we put on a show for them. I just showed a video to the lads about the marches because I know how important this is to the city.
“The club is in a healthy place and we’re trying to push it in the right direction.”

Derby’s best result against West Ham was a 6-0 First Division win at the Baseball Ground in December 1928.
