Arsenal will host Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup after the draw was held following Wolves' 2-1 win against Liverpool on Monday night that sees Jurgen Klopp's team exit the competition.
Arsenal, with 13 FA Cup wins, and United, with 12, are the most successful clubs in the world's oldest knockout competition.
United beat Reading 2-0 in the third round, while Unai Emery's Arsenal beat Blackpool 3-0 on Saturday. Crystal Palace host Tottenham and Burnley will travel to Manchester City in the only other matches featuring two Premier League teams. A third such instance would occur if Newcastle beat Blackburn in their replay, with the winner hosting Watford.
Several other clubs are awaiting the results of third-round replays to determine opponents, with those matches set for Jan. 15 and 16.
Holders Chelsea were given a home game against one of two lower-league teams, Sheffield Wednesday or Luton.
Giant-killers Newport County of League Two (fourth tier), who beat Leicester City in the third round, face a trip to second-tier Middlesbrough, managed by Newport-born Tony Pulis.
Everton face a tricky test at Championship side Millwall, while Barnet, the only non-league team in the last 32, were drawn at home to second-tier Brentford.
The fourth round will be played Jan. 25-28, with all matches aired live on ESPN+ in the United States.
