Newport County will face Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round if they win their third-round replay against Eastleigh.

League Two Newport must go to National League side Eastleigh for a replay after Saturday's 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade.

The winners of the tie will host Manchester United.

Swansea City will travel to Premier League Bournemouth in round four, while Wrexham go to Blackburn Rovers.

Manchester United booked their place in round four with a 2-0 win at Wigan on Monday night.

A tricky trip to face the Cherries is Swansea's reward for victory over Morecambe in new head coach Luke Williams' first game in charge last weekend.

Wrexham face a testing trip to Ewood Park after winning at Shrewsbury in round three.

The fourth-round ties will take place on the weekend of Saturday, 27 January.
