Manchester United will host Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round, while Manchester City will play Plymouth Argyle.
FA Cup holders Manchester United left it late to progress past Leicester City in the fourth round on Friday and they will face a Fulham side they have already beaten home and away in the Premier League this season. Marco Silva’s side beat Wigan Athletic in the previous round.
After stunning Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, Plymouth face a trip to Premier League champions Manchester City, who edged past League One Leyton Orient on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Carabao Cup finalists Newcastle United will host Brighton & Hove Albion, who got the better of Chelsea to reach the fourth round, while Wolverhampton Wanderers will travel to Bournemouth in the draw’s two other all-Premier League ties.
There is guaranteed to be at least one Championship side in the quarter-finals, with Preston North End playing Burnley.
Unlike in previous years and as has been the case throughout this season’s competition, there will be no replays in the event of a draw after 90 minutes. All matches will now be settled on the day, via extra time and, if required, a penalty shootout.
