FA Cup predictions: Every FA Cup fourth round tie predicted

FA Cup: Football Digest panel preview fourth round

The standout tie of the round sees Manchester United host Liverpool just a week on from their goalless draw in the Premier League, with fans hoping for a more entertaining affair in the FA Cup. The fourth round begins on Friday night as Wolves travel to Chorley, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition.

Holders Arsenal will look to continue their recent resurgence with a testing trip to Southampton before a Premier League meeting three days later.

Leicester and Manchester City are both in fine form ahead of their trips to Brentford and fourth-tier Cheltenham respectively.

Chelsea get a welcome break from the Premier League as Frank Lampard’ faltering side host Championship outfit Luton.
