Brentford next up for giant killers Macclesfield in FA Cup

Sixth-tier Macclesfield have another chance to knock out Premier League opposition after being drawn at home to Brentford in the FA Cup fourth round draw on Monday.

The National League North team produced one of the greatest upsets in the competition’s history when they defeated holders Crystal Palace 2-1 at Moss Rose on Saturday.

The 117 places separating Premier League outfit Palace from Macclesfield is the most overcome by an underdog in FA Cup history.

Yet, they could break their own record next month should they get the better of Brentford, who sit fifth in the Premier League.

“We said before that we would have liked to get Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal, but another Premier League side is incredible,” said Macclesfield boss John Rooney, the younger brother of former England captain Wayne Rooney.

Newcastle travel to Aston Villa in the only confirmed all Premier League tie.

Liverpool will host Manchester United’s conquerors Brighton at Anfield after the Reds beat Barnsley on Monday.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior returns to his former club Hull.

Premier League leaders Arsenal entertain Wigan, while Manchester City are at home to either Salford or Swindon.
