Reigning Premier League champions Leicester City have been drawn against East Midlands rivals Derby County in a big, er, derby, at Pride Park as Steve McClaren’s side are going well in the second-tier and will fancy their chances against the Foxes.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United have also been handed local derbies with Antonio Conte’s side hosting Brentford in west London and Jose Mourinho’s United welcoming Wigan Athletic to Old Trafford.

The only two potential all-Premier League ties are Southampton against Arsenal (providing Saints get by second-tier Norwich City in a replay) and Crystal Palace against Manchester City assuming that the Eagles get by third-tier Bolton in a replay.

In total there could be a maximum of 13 Premier League teams remaining in the last 32 of the competition after the replays take place on Jan. 17-18.

Below is the schedule in full for the fourth round as the ties will take place on the weekend of Jan. 28.
