"Evening all, and welcome to the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup. After a weekend of sublime shocks and ridiculous results, all eyes are on Anfield for the 6.35pm draw before Liverpool take on League One strugglers Barnsley. Reds legend Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole will be pulling out the balls with obvious attention on those Silkmen, 40 miles down the road, after their astonishing 2-1 win over the holders Crystal Palace."
The fourth-round draw for the FA Cup takes place at Anfield at 6.35pm before Liverpool face Barnsley, with Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole conducting the draw. Macclesfield advanced with an astonishing 2-1 victory over holders Crystal Palace, generating widespread excitement and focus on the Silkmen. Several lower-league sides remain potential giant-killers, including League Two's Salford and Swindon after a frozen third-round tie, and Grimsby following Carabao Cup success over Manchester United in August. Fourteen top-flight teams still face possible upsets, while a set of numbered sides includes Macclesfield, Salford/Swindon, Grimsby, Wrexham, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool/Barnsley, and Arsenal.
