The sixth-tier side delivered the biggest upset in FA Cup history
\nLIVERPOOL
\nNew Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior was handed a trip back to his old club Hull City in the FA Cup fourth round draw on Monday while non-league giant-slayers Macclesfield will welcome top-flight Brentford.
\nSixth-tier Macclesfield, coached by Wayne Rooney\u2019s younger brother John, delivered the biggest upset in FA Cup history when they stunned holders Crystal Palace 2\u20131 at their Moss Rose ground last Saturday.
\nThey will have to produce another huge upset against Brentford, punching above their weight in fifth in the Premier League standings.
\n\u201cWe said before that we would have liked to get Liverpool, Chelsea, or Arsenal but another Premier League side is incredible,\u201d said Rooney after the draw at Liverpool\u2019s Anfield ground.
\nRosenior played in the FA Cup final for Hull City against winners Arsenal in 2014 and also managed the club from 2022 to 2024.
\nHe kicked off his tenure as Chelsea boss last Saturday with a 5-1 FA Cup third round win at Championship (second tier) side Charlton Athletic.
\nPremier League leaders Arsenal, the record 14-times winners of the FA Cup, will host League One (third tier) Wigan Athletic who won in 2013.
\nAston Villa, who beat Tottenham Hotspur in the third round, will be at home to Newcastle United in an all-Premier League clash.
\nLiverpool will also face Premier League opponents in Brighton & Hove Albion if they beat League One Barnsley at home on Monday night.
\nManchester City will have fourth-tier opponents in either Salford City, in what would be a mismatched local game, or Swindon Town. The matches will be played around the weekend of February 14 and 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
