Arsenal to host Coventry in FA Cup

Premier League leaders Arsenal were handed a home tie against third-tier Coventry City in the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Arsenal, who last won the tournament in 2005, booked their place in round four with a 2-0 defeat of north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, while Coventry won 2-1 at Barnsley.

The Premier League's heavyweight clubs were kept apart in the draw, although Chelsea will face a home game against Stoke City if they win at Derby County later on Sunday.

Lower-league teams Bristol Rovers and Crawley Town, meanwhile, were given a potential shot at a home tie with Manchester United.

Fourth-tier Rovers and third-tier Crawley are still to play their second-round tie, which has twice been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, with the winners set to face Championship side Birmingham City.

If either side reach round four, they will face the winners of the third-round tie between United and Swansea City that was due to take place later on Sunday.

Third-division Sheffield United's reward for upsetting Aston Villa was a home game against another top-flight team as Nigel Clough's side were drawn to face either Norwich City or Fulham.

Sunderland or Carlisle United v Kidderminster Harriers or Peterborough United

Bolton Wanderers v Cardiff City

Southampton v Yeovil Town
