When Newcastle United will find out their FA Cup Fourth Round opponents following Sunderland triumph

Newcastle United will find out who they will face in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup on Monday night. The Magpies booked their spot in the draw with a 3-0 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Dan Ballard’s own goal just after the half-hour mark and Alexander Isak’s second-half brace secured the win for Newcastle in what was their first FA Cup win in almost three years - and their first under Eddie Howe. They will be hoping for some luck in the draw this time round having been handed very difficult ties in every cup competition they have featured in thus far this season.

The Champions League draw handed them the ‘Group of Death’ alongside Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and PSG whilst the Carabao Cup spat out Manchester City at home before trips to Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge. Having now overcome their local rivals in a very tricky looking tie, United will be hopeful of going deep in the competition.

The FA Cup Fourth Round draw will be broadcast live on ITV 1 ahead of the clash between 2013 winners Wigan Athletic and Manchester United (8:15pm kick-off). Newcastle United will be ball number 15 with ties in the next round to be played on the weekend of January 27.

Newcastle should have roughly a fortnight’s break before that game with their match against Manchester City on Saturday preceding a free weekend due to the Premier League’s winter break rules. They will then have an FA Cup tie to navigate before making the trip to Villa Park to face Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at 8:15pm on Tuesday, January 30.
