Only Arsenal get home draw as London's FA Cup survivors are all handed away days

There is still plenty of capital interest in the FA Cup, but little action will take place on London on the weekend of the fourth round ties - February 15/15.


Arsenal are the only ones to get a home tie - with League One Wigan Athletic being handed a clash with the Gunners at Emirates Stadium. For the rest of our teams, travel is involved.


Brentford's reward for a comfortable 2-0 win at Championship dead men Sheffield Wednesday is a clash against the darlings of the competition Macclesfield FC, who provided one of the biggest ever shocks in the competition on beating holders Crystal Place 2-1 at Moss Rose.


The tier six outfit were 117 places below the Eagles in the league pyramid so it technically counts as the biggest shock of them all, but a win against the Bees would surpass it.


Elsewhere, Fulham travel to Championship side Stoke City after seeing off Middlesbrough 3-1, Liam Rosenior takes his Chelsea team to Hull City, who he played for in the 2014 final and went on to manage and West Ham travel north to Burton Albion - the Brewers having thrashed Boreham Wood to progress.


There are no London teams outside the Premier League that remain in the competition after Charlton (1-5 v Chelsea), Millwall (1-5 at Burnley) Watford (1-5 at Bristol City) and QPR (1-2 at West Ham) all fell by the wayside.
