The FA Cup fourth round draw brought about one of the most exciting ties in English football as Liverpool will take on their arch rivals Everton at Anfield in what is sure to be an action packed FA Cup tie.

The magic of the cup also brought about Premier League opponents for both Kettering Town and Hartlepool.

Kettering, made famous a couple of years ago by Paul Gascoigne's brief stint as manager, have been given a home tie against Premier League giants Fulham after the team from the Conference National triumphed 2-1 over Eastwood Town of the NPL Division in the third round.

Meanwhile Hartlepool, who secured a sensational result against Premier League side Stoke City have been handed another Premier League test with a home tie against West Ham United.

FA Cup giants Tottenham Hotspur could face Manchester United in the fourth round if Sir Alex Ferguson's men overcome the stiff test of Southampton in their third round tie later this afternoon.

Ten times winners of the competition Arsenal have been given a tricky away tie to Championship side Cardiff City, with the Bluebirds challenging for Premier League status next season.

Another stand out tie is for Blyth Spartans, who if they manage to overcome the challenge of Blackburn Rovers in their third round tie will meet another Premier League side in the form of Sunderland.
