Sixth-tier Maidstone United, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the FA Cup, face a fourth-round trip to the high-flying Sky Bet Championship side Ipswich Town.

The draw produced four guaranteed all-Premier League games among the 16 ties, the pick of which is Tottenham Hotspur at home to the holders Manchester City in a repeat of the famous 1981 final which Spurs won after a replay thanks to a Ricky Villa solo goal. Ange Postecoglou’s side will be boosted by the fact that Spurs have won all five matches against Pep Guardiola’s men since moving to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019, without conceding a goal.

Maidstone, who are fifth in the National League South, were the success story of the weekend, defeating League One team Stevenage
