Man Utd to face Third Division in FA Cup
Yeovil Town, the lowest division team still playing in the FA Cup, will host the "Red Devils" of Manchester.
Man Utd beat Yeovil Town in the 2014-15 FA Cup, on their way to the quarter-finals of that competition. Another League Two team, Newport County, faced Tottenham. Newport caused a shock in the third round by beating Championship side Leeds United.

Bournemouth and West Ham could also meet if they beat lower league sides Wigan Athletic and Shrewsbury Town in the replay.
