Fifth-tier side Eastleigh could face Manchester United after the FA Cup fourth round draw that was held last-night.

The draw also saw AFC Bournemouth drawn against Swansea City and Southampton having to travel to face Watford.

Eastleigh have faced Dover Athletic, Boreham Wood and League One side Reading to get to the third round of the FA Cup.

Eastleigh will need to play a replay against Newport County to advance to the fourth round, with Eastleigh getting a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Newport despite being a man-down for most of the game.

Eastleigh will be hosting Newport at their ground, the Silverlake Stadium, on January 16th for a chance at hosting 12-time FA Cup winners Manchester United, who beat Wigan 2-0 to book their place into the fourth round.

Other sides in the final-32 of the competition include AFC Bournemouth, who will be hosting Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, and Southampton who will go to Watford’s home ground, Vicarage Road.

Fourth round fixtures are scheduled to take place on 27th January however games can be moved from the Friday to Monday of that weekend due to selection for TV broadcast.
