"We're massive underdogs, a League One side playing the best team in the country. But this is the FA Cup and we know that anything can happen," Robinson told the Oxford Mail.

"With respect to the millions of Arsenal fans, we won't just have the support of Oxford United's fanbase on Monday, we will have millions more people willing us on as underdogs. All we can promise is total commitment and passion. We can't wait."

There's a shock on the cards down in Cardiff, where the Bluebirds lead Premier League side Leeds United 2-0 at half-time.

When are the fourth-round fixtures?

Monday's fixture between Oxford United and Arsenal is the final scheduled third-round tie, although replays are required for games which end all square.

The fourth round will take place between Friday 27 January and Monday 30 January, meaning there is plenty more FA Cup action for fans to enjoy in January.

When is the draw?

The draw is expected to take place at approximately 4:05pm GMT, 25 minutes before kick-off between Manchester City and Chelsea.

The two clubs locked horns in the Premier League on Thursday, with Riyad Mahrez scoring the winner at Stamford Bridge.

Blues manager Graham Potter is under pressure to arrest an alarming slide and knows victory over City will improve the outlook drastically.

Welcome!

Good afternoon and welcome to Mirror Football's live coverage of the FA Cup fourth-round draw.

Mark Chapman will be hosting proceedings and will be joined by Emile Heskey and Karen Bardsley.

Heskey lifted the FA Cup with Liverpool in 2001, while Bardsley won the Women's FA Cup on three occasions (2017, 2019, 2020) with Manchester City.
