When is the FA Cup fourth round draw? Start time, ball numbers and talkSPORT coverage as iconic competition progresses
Today at 12:14 PM
The draw for the FA Cup fourth round is imminent, with the famous third round taking place this weekend.
This is the point of the competition that sees Premier League and Championship sides enter and there could be some shocks on the cards.
Among those who could be at risk include Tottenham, who play National League side Tamworth.
Meanwhile, the holders could crash out at the first hurdle.
Manchester United won this competition last season and have been drawn against Arsenal in one of the standout ties of the round, so one of those giants won’t make it to round four.
FA Cup draw: Date and how to follow
The FA Cup fourth-round draw will take place following the conclusion of Arsenal v Man United.
The glamour tie kicked-off at 3pm on Sunday but has since been forced into extra-time – with penalties also potentially needed.
It means that the draw may take place at any time around 5:45-6pm.
The ball-picking will be done by Martin Keown and Mark Schwarzer and will be live on talkSPORT.
