Wrexham will play Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round, while Premier League leaders Arsenal will travel to League One side Mansfield Town.
Wrexham, who are at this stage of the competition for the first time since 1997 after their victory over Ipswich Town on Friday, will host Premier League side Chelsea who defeated Hull City 4-0.
Arsenal — looking to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2020 — travel to third-tier Mansfield, who secured an impressive victory over top-flight Burnley on Saturday.
Liverpool — who most recently won the competition in 2022 — will travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently bottom of the Premier League, while there’s another all top-flight tie as Newcastle United take on Manchester City.
Brentford will travel to West Ham United in the last-16 stage after Keith Andrews’s side on Monday defeated Macclesfield Town of the National League North, who had been the remaining non-league side in the competition.
Elsewhere, Fulham face Championship side Southampton and Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke will take on his former side Norwich City.
The winners of Port Vale or Bristol City, whose tie on Saturday was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, will play host to Sunderland.
The fifth-round ties will be played over the weekend of March 7-8.
