Manchester United and Manchester City, last season's finalists, are among 14 of the 16 sides to have already confirmed their place in the FA Cup fifth round.
And they will learn of their opponents for their next ties at a little after 7pm tonight with the competition already taking on an unusually open look after Liverpool and Tottenham yesterday joined Arsenal and Chelsea in crashing out.
Aston Villa, Brighton and Newcastle will also fancy their chances of going the distance as a result, while five Championship sides are waiting to learn of their next opponents.
Two remaining fourth round ties take place tonight and tomorrow with Doncaster Rovers, the lowest ranked team left, hosting Crystal Palace this evening and Exeter welcoming Nottingham Forest to the south west on Tuesday night.
Tonight's draw will be shown live on BBC television but you can follow along here...
