Holders Manchester City will have to end their hoodoo at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to progress in the FA Cup fourth round as non-league Eastleigh could face Manchester United.

City have lost on all five previous visits since Spurs’ new stadium opened in 2019, without scoring a single goal.

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham, who progressed to the last 32 with a 1-0 win over Burnley on Friday, struck late to snatch a 3-3 draw when the sides last met in December at the Etihad.

The FA Cup could be Postecoglou’s best chance to claim silverware in his maiden season in the Premier League, but facing City is a brutal test – especially as early as the fourth round.
