FA Cup Fourth-Round Draw Simulator: Arsenal Handed Horror Match-Up as Liverpool Discover Their Path

The FA Cup fourth-round draw has been simulated, revealing possible opponents for Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

The competition returned in dramatic fashion last weekend as Premier League sides entered during the third round. Friday night delivered an early shock, with Championship outfit Wrexham eliminating Nottingham Forest on penalties at the Racecourse Ground.

Saturday then produced a historic upset, as non-league Macclesfield FC stunned holders Crystal Palace 2-1. Goals from Paul Dawson and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts sealed what became the biggest shock in FA Cup history, with a staggering 117-place gap between the two sides.

Elsewhere, Manchester City ran riot with a 10-1 demolition of Exeter City, while Arsenal, Chelsea, Wolves and Aston Villa all booked their places in the next round. On Sunday, Brighton knocked Manchester United out at Old Trafford with a 2-1 victory.

Liverpool face Barnsley at Anfield on Monday night, with the official draw set to take place before kick-off.

Ahead of that, a simulated draw has thrown up some intriguing ties. Arsenal are handed a nightmare trip to the Etihad to face City, while giant-killers Macclesfield are rewarded with an away clash against Championship side Leicester City.

Should Liverpool overcome Barnsley, they would host Bristol City. Another eye-catching all-Premier League showdown also appears, with Leeds United set to welcome Sunderland.
