Saints away for Reds

Manchester United will travel to League One Southampton in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The Saints reached the last 32 of the competition following a win over a heavily-changed Blackpool side at the St.Mary's.

Following Sunday's sweet victory over Liverpool, the Red Devils will travel to the south coast in the fourth round. Southampton already have a Premier League scalp to their name after dumping a much-changed Blackpool side out of the tournament on Saturday.

The match is one of the more interesting ties of a largely disappointing draw. Other notable games see Birmingham host Midlands rivals Coventry, Fulham entertain Spurs and Chelsea take on Everton.

Stevenage Borough, conquerors of top-flight Newcastle, face Reading - who knocked out West Bromwich Albion. Notts County, who bagged a shock win at Sunderland, will host Manchester City or Leicester; whilst troubled West Ham face a testing ninety minutes at home to Nottingham Forest.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men last faced Southampton back in 2009, winning 3-0 in a one-sided Cup clash.

The full draw for round four is as follows:
Torquay v Crawley Town or Derby
Watford v Brighton
Bolton v Wigan
Arsenal or Leeds v Huddersfield
Fulham v Tottenham
Everton v Chelsea
Southampton v Manchester United
Swansea v Leyton Orient
Burnley v Burton
Birmingham v Coventry
Doncaster Rovers or Wolves v Stoke City or Cardiff City
Notts County v Leicester or Man City
Stevenage v Reading
Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers
West Ham United v Nottingham Forest
Sheffield Wednesday v Wycombe Wanderers or Hereford United
