The draw for the 4th Round of the FA Cup was made yesterday with some very interesting ties to look forward to.
Kidderminster who knocked out Championship Reading in Round 3 have an opportunity to pull off another massive upset has they take on Premier League West Ham. Another non league club in Boreham Wood also have another opportunity to cause an upset as they travel to Championship leaders Bournemouth. These would be massive shocks if the two non league sides were to pull it off.
League 2 Hartlepool also have another opportunity to cause an upset as they travel to Premier League Crystal Palace after knocking out Championship Blackpool in the last round.
League 1 Plymouth arguably have the toughest tie of the round as they'll be taking on European Champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They cause a shock in the last round by beating Championship Birmingham and will be looking to cause a big one here when they meet the blues at the end of the month.
We could also have a few upsets from some sides in the Championship in Coventry, Middlesbrough, Cardiff, Fulham and Nottingham Forest. Fulham easily have the toughest tie out of all them as they'll be taking on Premier League champions Man City whilst struggling Cardiff also have a tough tie as they'll be taking on Liverpool at Anfield. Middlesbrough also have a tough tie to look forward to as they'll be travelling to either Man United or Aston Villa who play on Monday. Coventry may fancy themselves of causing an upset as they take on Southampton and especially with the season they're having so far with the club in 10th. Nottingham Forest on the other hand have a have a local derby to look forward to as they'll be taking on holders Leicester at the City Ground which should be a good game.
We also have at least three all Premier League ties to look forward to with Spurs taking on Brighton, Everton taking on Brentford and Wolves facing Norwich.
