Giant-killers get plum ties
Shrewsbury's players were delighted with the draw
The FA Cup fourth round draw has thrown up some mouth-watering ties.
Conference side Farnborough Town landed the big FA Cup fourth round prize with a home draw against holders Arsenal. Farnborough shocked Darlington in the third round - and will now play host to Arsene Wenger's double winners at Cherrywood Road. Borough defender Micky Warner described the chance to play Arsenal as "a dream come true".
"We really couldn't have asked for anything better than that. "I could find myself marking Robert Pires or Thierry Henry," said Warner. Shrewsbury Town's reward for their FA Cup giant-killing act against Everton is a glamour tie at home to Chelsea. "We've gone further than we anticipated so anything now is a big, big bonus," said Shrews boss Kevin Ratcliffe. Manchester United have an all-Premiership tie at home to West Ham, who knocked them out the competition in 2001. Liverpool, meanwhile, will travel to Crystal Palace. Fourth round draw Norwich v Dagenham & Redbridge Southampton v Millwall Walsall v Wimbledon Blackburn v Sunderland Rochdale v Coventry Fulham v Charlton Sheffield Utd v Ipswich Shrewsbury v Chelsea Stoke v Bournemouth Brentford v Burnley Farnborough v Arsenal Manchester United v West Ham Gillingham v Leeds Wolves v Leicester Watford v West Brom Crystal Palace v Liverpool (Ties to be played on 25/26 January)
