Manchester United will visit Championship promotion chasers Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the F.A Cup, should the Red Devils overcome Burton Albion in an Old Trafford replay. The Midlands outfit would be sure to provide a difficult task for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

Should Manchester United overcome a replay with Burton Albion, then Wolverhampton Wanderers will provide the next obstacle for Sir Alex Ferguson's men as ambitions of travelling to Wembley for the F.A Cup final intensify.

A weakened United side were left frustrated by Conference boys Burton on the weekend, with the non-league outfit matching their illustrious opponents and fully earning a money-spinning replay at Old Trafford. Nigel Clough will now bring his minnows to the Theatre of Dreams, with Fergie expected to name a stronger side that the one that could only manage a stalemate at the Pirelli Stadium.

Glenn Hoddle's Wolves currently sit 7th in the Championship table and are starting to look a good bet for at least a play-off place after battling back from a dissappointing start to the season. The Midlands outfit will certainly provide a tough test for United, should Burton be put to the sword on home territory, and will fancy something of a Cup-run themselves after advancing past Plymouth Argyle on the weekend.

The Red Army can expect an allocation in the region of 4,200 under F.A Cup regulations for what is sure to be a packed and passionate Molineux.

In other ties, Arsenal visit Bolton Wanderers after knocking Cardiff City out 2-1. Meanwhile Nuneaton Borough or Middlesbrough, who battled out a shock and entertaining draw, will both be hoping to have a crack at Coventry City. Liverpool visit Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth, with the police certain to be on red alert should Millwall overcome Everton in a replay and entertain Chelsea. It sounds like that awful film, Green Street!

Leyton Orient, who stunned Fulham on Sunday, will again hope to win a Capital clash at Charlton whilst rivals Manchester City entertain the winners of Wigan Athletic and Leeds United's replay. Tamworth, another non-league team left in the hat, must beat Stoke City in a replay if they are to get a crack at either Walsall or Barnsley.

The complete draw, all 16 ties, is as follows:

Stoke City/Tamworth v Barnsley/Walsall
Cheltenham Town/Chester City v Newcastle United
Coventry v Nuneaton Borough/Middlesbrough
West Brom/Reading v Torquay/Birmingham
Portsmouth v Liverpool
Leicester v Southampton
Bolton v Arsenal
Aston Villa v Port Vale
Brentford v Sunderland
Manchester City v Wigan/Leeds
Millwall/Everton v Chelsea
Preston v Crystal Palace
West Ham v Blackburn
Colchester v Derby
Charlton v Leyton Orient
Wolves v Burton/Manchester United

Matches will take place on the weekend commencing January 28th.
