Following the completion of Manchester United’s epic penalty shoot-out win over Arsenal on Sunday at The Emirates, ex-Gunners defender Martin Keown pulled out the fixtures for the FA Cup fourth round.
These matches are due to take place over the weekend of February 8, 2025. Like the third round, the games will be spread over this weekend.
Also similar to the previous round, and in a new rule for the whole FA Cup season, there will be no replays. That means the tickets to see the outcome of each tie will be in demand, as there are no second chances.
There are a number of stand-out fixtures, including no less than four all-Premier League ties.
Here at SeatPick, we’ve identified five of the best FA Cup fourth round matches this year.
Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Villa Park will play host to one of the all-Premier League ties and it features Unai Emery’s Aston Villa taking on Ange Postecoglu’s Tottenham.
This should be an entertaining match, with the previous Premier League match between these two sides this season, ending in a 4-1 win for Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in early November.
Villa beat West Ham in their FA Cup third round match. Whilst Spurs just about avoided the banana skin of Tamworth on a synthetic pitch, winning 3-0 after extra time.
Tickets start for Aston Villa vs Spurs in the FA Cup from £102.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea
Brighton take on Chelsea at The Amex and this should be a blood-and-thunder encounter as there is no love lost between these two sides.
In recent seasons, Chelsea have lavished plenty of money on Brighton to snag the likes of Graham Potter, Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo.
Fans of the Seagulls will be desperate to see whether they can get one over their wealthy visitors from west London.
Brighton won away at Norwich City in the third round. Whilst Chelsea emerged past Morecambe at home.
Tickets are already available for Brighton vs Chelsea in the FA Cup, including in the away end, located behind the goal, in the south-east corner at the Amex.
Everton vs Bournemouth
The third round of the FA Cup was a manic time for Everton, as just before they beat Peterborough United at Goodison Park, they sacked Sean Dyche.
David Moyes has returned to Everton as manager and the Scot will be keen to go far in the FA Cup.
Bournemouth are having a fine season under Andoni Iraola, and will be targeting the FA Cup having beaten so many of the top sides in the Premier League this season.
The Cherries smashed West Brom 5-1 in the third round of the FA Cup. And, Bournemouth will be encouraged by their recent 1-0 win over Everton at the Vitality Stadium in early January.
Tickets to see Everton play Bournemouth in the FA Cup start from an attractive looking £54.

Manchester United vs Leicester City
Manchester United‘s reward for winning away at Arsenal is a home game against Leicester City and former Red Devils hero Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The FA Cup holders had to hold out for nearly an hour with ten men at The Emirates and will be strong favourites now to secure a spot in the fifth round.
Van Nistelrooy’s main task at the King Power Stadium is somehow to keep Leicester City in the Premier League but the Dutchman will be well aware that a long cup run will boost morale.
A 6-2 win over Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup third round will for sure have helped Leicester after five consecutive defeats.
Manchester United vs Leicester City tickets are available from £79. There are VIP tickets available for this clash, starting from £250.

Plymouth Argyle vs Liverpool
Plymouth Argyle produced the shock of the FA Cup third round, winning 1-0 away at Brentford‘s Gtech Community Stadium.
Morgan Whittaker was the hero for Plymouth, with a goal eight minutes from time at Brentford. Incredibly, this was Plymouth Argyle’s first win since early November.
Considering they are bottom of the Championship, it is a big stretch to consider Plymouth can cause a Cupset against the runaway leaders of the Premier League.
Liverpool eased past Accrington Stanley in the third round at Anfield and even with over 16,000 at Home Park, Arne Slot’s side should have enough to get past the Championship strugglers.
Despite the fact Liverpool are overwhelming favourites, tickets to see Plymouth take on Liverpool are in big demand. Tickets in the away end start from £321.
