Anfield reception ‘biggest compliment’ for Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold

The draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup takes place following the conclusion of Arsenal’s match against Manchester United.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are among the Premier League teams to have already booked their place in round four, with Plymouth Argyle pulling off the shock of the round so far with victory away to Brentford on Saturday.

The clash between Arsenal and United will conclude at roughly the same time as the games between Newcastle and Bromley, Crystal Palace and Stockport and Ipswich and Bristol Rovers, with just two more fixtures to be played this weekend.

Southampton host Swansea later today before Millwall face Dagenham and Redbridge on Monday night. However, the cold front postponed games between Mansfield and Wigan and Preston and Charlton, with those fixtures resheduled for this midweek.

How Bromley earned ‘game of a lifetime’ at Newcastle in FA Cup third round

On 2 December, sitting nervously in Bromley’s boardroom, assistant manager Alan Dunne and CEO Mark Hammond watched the FA Cup third-round draw unfold on a TV screen in the corner. Bromley FC were established 133 years ago and, for the first time in that long history, their club were involved in one of English football’s great rituals.

“We all wanted a massive draw but I thought all the big games had gone,” says Dunne, recalling the tension as the draw dragged on. But one Premier League giant was still out there. Their ears pricked as “Newcastle United” were announced, and when “No 6” followed, they lost their minds, screaming, hugging, beating the table.

FA Cup draw

Morgan Whittaker’s stunning late goal helped Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle pull off a major FA Cup upset with a 1-0 victory at Premier League Brentford.

Thomas Frank’s side were not at the races at the Gtech Community Stadium prior to Whittaker’s solo 82nd-minute effort which sent Argyle, who had new manager Miron Muslic watching from the stands after Wayne Rooney’s sacking a fortnight ago, into the fourth round.

Plymouth’s leaky backline, which has conceded 53 league goals this season to leave them rooted to the bottom of the second tier, was not on display in west London as valiant defending from the likes of Brendan Galloway helped caretaker boss Kevin Nancekivell secure a memorable victory and extend Argyle’s unbeaten run since Rooney’s departure to three games.

FA Cup draw

Graham Potter’s spell as West Ham manager began with defeat as Aston Villa celebrated their 150th anniversary by fighting back to claim a 2-1 FA Cup third-round win.

Potter was in the dugout just a day after being named as sacked Julen Lopetegui’s successor and it looked like he would bring instant success as Lucas Paqueta fired West Ham into an early lead at Villa Park.

But this was a special night for Villa and they overcame a woeful first hour with goals from Andre Onana and Morgan Rogers in the space of two second-half minutes earning just their second FA Cup win in nine years.

At Bramall Lane, Cian Ashford struck the only goal as Cardiff turned the form book upside down by dumping Sheffield United out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win.

Ashford marked his eighth senior start for Sky Bet Championship relegation battlers Cardiff with a first-half strike that settled their third-round tie in front of a paltry crowd of just 6,126.

FA Cup draw

Fulham had four different scorers as they beat Watford 4-1 in the third round of the FA Cup at Craven Cottage.

After a well-worked counter-attack saw Rodrigo Muniz net his first goal of 2025, Rocco Vata scored what will be considered a goal-of-the-competition contender with a thumping long-range effort to draw the sides level.

Raul Jimenez continued his fine scoring record from the spot before Joachim Andersen and Timothy Castagne scored their first goals of the season to help Marco Silva’s side topple his former club and advance into the next round.

Good afternoon

The FA Cup third round is underway as Premier League and Championship sides enter the competition for the first time, with 32 ties being played over the weekend.

Cardiff, Fulham and Everton were the first teams to book their spot on Thursday night, before Aston Villa beat West Ham to deliver defeat to Graham Potter in his first game in charge of the Hammers and League One Wycombe also upset Championship Portsmouth on Friday night.

Liverpool comfortably beat Accrington Stanley and Chelsea did likewise against Morecambe but Brentford were upset by the Championship’s bottom club, managerless Plymouth Argyle on Saturday afternoon, while before the pick of the third rounders takes place on Sunday as Manchester United face Arsenal at the Emirates.

And despite the fact that there is one more match on Monday, plus a handful of postponed matches happening on Tuesday, the draw for the fourth round will take place on Sunday evening, so fans will soon find out their opponents for the fourth round games in February.
