2015 FA Cup draw results, fourth round: Manchester United draw minnows again


The fixtures for the next round of the FA Cup were made just before Monday's two matches.


The draw has been made for the fourth round of the FA Cup, and it's been kind to the Premier League's biggest sides. Manchester United have to go away to a minnow again, and will travel to Cambridge United, who are the lowest-placed team remaining in the competition.


Chelsea will be big favorites in their tie, at home against Millwall or Bradford City. The same goes for Manchester City, who are at home against Middlesborough. If Liverpool get by AFC Wimbledon on Monday, they'll get to host Bolton Wanderers. The big team with the hardest draw are Arsenal, who go away to Brighton and Hove Albion.


For those interested in the magic of the cup, Wimbledon will like their chances to pull another upset if they get by Liverpool, while Rochdale could provide Stoke City with a test at home. Cambridge, meanwhile, will probably find their chances of advancing to be quite slim.


Because of fixture conflicts, these games may be spread out across multiple weeks, but most ties will take place the week of January 19. Replays will be played at the opposite ground if necessary.
