BEIJING, Jan. 6 -- Neighbors Liverpool and Everton will face each other in the fourth round of the FA Cup and Manchester United will host Tottenham. The draw for the last 32 of football's oldest and most famous domestic cup competition was made on Sunday and Liverpool and Everton were the first two names out. Liverpool has won the trophy seven times, the last being three seasons ago, and the last of Everton's five triumphs was in 1995.

The two sides have met 20 times in the competition including the finals of 1986 and 1989, both of which Liverpool won.

Arsenal, which beat Plymouth 3-1 on Saturday and has won the title 10 times, goes to Cardiff. Cardiff is the only non-English team to win the trophy - in the 1927 final.
