NEIGHBORS Liverpool and Everton will face each other in the fourth round of the FA Cup and Manchester United will host Tottenham.

The draw for the last 32 of football's oldest and most famous domestic cup competition was made on Sunday and Liverpool and Everton were the first two names out. Liverpool has won the trophy seven times, the last being three seasons ago, and the last of Everton's five triumphs was in 1995.

The two sides have met 20 times in the competition including the finals of 1986 and 1989, both of which Liverpool won.

Liverpool beat Preston 2-0 on Saturday, while Everton triumphed 1-0 at Macclesfield.

Manchester United beat Southampton 3-0 in the third round on Sunday and the reward was a home game against eight-time FA Cup winner Tottenham. Tottenham beat Wigan 3-1 on Friday.

Arsenal, which beat Plymouth 3-1 on Saturday and has won the title 10 times, goes to Cardiff. Cardiff is the only non-English team to win the trophy - in the 1927 final.

If Chelsea gets past its replay, it would host League Championship club Ipswich in the fourth round. The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw by League One team Southend at home on Saturday.

FA Cup holders Portsmouth, which was held to a goalless draw by Championship (second division) Bristol City on Saturday, will face either minor league Histon or Swansea City if they win the replay at Ashton Gate.

Nottingham Forest must visit neighbor Derby in a meeting of two League Championship clubs.
