Difficulty level upped

After a ridiculously easy home game against the second worst team in the top four divisions of English professional football, Morecambe, the difficulty level of our FA Cup campaign will increased markedly. Chelsea will hit the road in the fourth round, and visit Todd Boehly's favorite team, Brighton & Hove Albion.

We have beaten the Seagulls in four straight across all competitions, but the Premier League's draw-specialists don't lose very often these days (only Arsenal and Liverpool have fewer defeats in the league at this point).

The fourth round will take place over the weekend of February 8.

The draw, in full, is as follows:

Manchester United vs. Leicester City
Leeds United vs. Millwall OR Dag & Red
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. CHELSEA
Preston North End OR Charlton Athletic vs. Wycombe Wanderers
Exeter City vs. Nottingham Forest
Coventry City vs. Ipswich Town
Blackburn Rovers vs. Wolves
Mansfield Town OR Wigan Athletic vs. Fulham
Birmingham City vs. Newcastle United
Plymouth Argyle vs. Liverpool
Everton vs. AFC Bournemouth
Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Southampton vs. Burnley
Leyton Orient PR Derby County vs. Manchester City
Doncaster Rovers vs. Crystal Palace
Stoke City vs. Cardiff City
