Holders Manchester United have been drawn to play Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Three all-Premier League ties will see eight-time winners Chelsea take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium, while Aston Villa host Tottenham and Everton face Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
