Manchester United have been handed a home draw against Championship side Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Red Devils are looking to defend the trophy they won for the first time since 2004 last year and saw off second-tier opposition in Reading in their first match of this year's competition.
They will now take on the Latics, who were promoted to the Championship last season and are struggling in 23rd place, with just four league wins to their name.
Wigan, the shock winners of the FA Cup in 2013, were able to see off fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest to reach the fourth round.
Chelsea are also at home and will host a west London derby against Brentford, while Arsenal will visit the winners of the replay between Norwich City and Southampton.
Tottenham will welcome League Two side Wycombe Wanderers, and Manchester City could face Premier League opposition if Crystal Palace win their replay against Bolton Wanderers.
Liverpool will have another home tie against Wolves to look forward to if they can see off Plymouth away from home.
Premier League champions Leicester City, meanwhile, will have to overcome a Midlands rival in Derby County to reach the fifth round.
