The FA Cup fourth round promises an exciting clash as Macclesfield, the sixth-tier team, faces another Premier League visitor from London, Brentford, after stunning Crystal Palace. But who will be next for Macclesfield after this triumph?

The draw reveals another intriguing match-up: Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior's new club, Chelsea, will face his former club, Hull City. Meanwhile, Aston Villa, fresh from beating Tottenham Hotspur, will host Newcastle United.

The tournament's lower-league competitors will be tested against top-flight teams, with several teams from below the Premier League and Championship set to feature. The draw guarantees at least a couple of these teams will reach the final 16.
