Saturday's North London Derby will be the highest-profile match in the fourth round of the FA Cup. All of the Premier League's best teams have avoided difficult draws. Chelsea will have to take on Stoke if they can get past Derby, but they're the only top-eight side that will have to play another team from the Premier League.
FA Cup draw: Big sides avoid each other
There are no marquee matches in the 4th round of the FA Cup, with all of the top teams in the Premier League avoiding each other.

Arsenal will host Coventry, which is a great draw for the visitors from a financial perspective. They've had serious struggles financially in the last couple of years and could benefit greatly from the payday. Manchester United faces a potentially tricky tie away to Birmingham, while Manchester City could face Watford if they get past Blackburn.
Fourth round ties will be played the week of January 25.
