Tottenham could face Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground in the FA Cup fifth round if the National League club are able to overcome Championship Sheffield United in their fourth round replay.
John Egan’s 95th-minute equaliser secured the Blades a 3-3 draw in north Wales and ensured they are still in the hat, though as the only remaining non-league side in the competition, Wrexham will be eyeing the continuance of their Hollywood story against Premier League opposition.
Having beaten Chelsea and Arsenal to get here, Manchester City will now face second-tier opponents after being drawn away to Bristol City, while Manchester United will host either Derby County or West Ham at Old Trafford following their victory over Reading.
There are several replays to be completed, including Luton Town vs Grimsby, with the winner facing Southampton at St Mary’s – that could mean a reunion with the Hatters for their former boss Nathan Jones.
Manchester United will play the winner of Derby vs West Ham and Manchester City travel to Bristol City. Leicester City, who have only played League Two opposition so far, come up against a sterner test in Blackburn or Birmingham, while Brighton’s reward for knocking out holders Liverpool is an away tie at Stoke City.
Elsewhere there could be a repeat of the 1973 FA Cup final if Sunderland make it past Fulham, the winner playing Leeds United.
Ipswich or Burnley have been drawn against Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood Town.
Spurs breezed through to the last 16 after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Preston, with Son Heung-min ending a barren run with a couple of trademark efforts on his ‘weaker’ left foot.
