Manchester City are set to face either Oxford or Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup after cruising to a comfortable 4-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.

The fourth round draw happened just before the game started at the Etihad Stadium. Riyad Mahrez scored twice as City raced to a 3-0 lead before halftime.

Arsenal, who lead the Premier League and have won the FA Cup a record 14 times, will play at third-tier Oxford on Monday.

Stevenage, a team from the fourth division, won 2-1 against Premier League team Aston Villa on Sunday. This was one of the biggest upsets of the third round, and they were rewarded with a trip to Championship club Stoke.

The 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Wolves on Saturday means that Brighton will play either Liverpool or Wolves at home in the fourth round.

Non-league After beating Coventry 4-3, Wrexham will play Sheffield United at home, which is also a second-tier club.

Sheffield Wednesday, a local team that plays against the Blades, just upset Premier League powerhouse Newcastle in the third round and will now host League One team Fleetwood.

Reading is coming to Old Trafford to play Manchester United. Paul Ince, who used to play for United but is now the manager of Reading, will be back at Old Trafford for the game.

Wrexham is one of three non-league teams still in the draw. The other two are Chesterfield and Boreham Wood.

The winner of the rematch between Chesterfield and West Brom will play either Bristol City or Swansea away, while Boreham Wood or Accrington will host either Cardiff or Leeds.

In the fourth round, Tottenham will go to Preston. These games will take place from January 27 to 30.
