Manchester City could face Premier League leaders Arsenal next in the FA Cup after knocking out Chelsea with a 4-0 win over the Blues in the third round on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's side stormed into a 3-0 lead against Graham Potter's men after goals from Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez (from the penalty spot) and Phil Foden in the space of 15 first-half minutes.

Mahrez later added another from the spot with five minutes remaining to seal an emphatic win for City against a somewhat experimental Chelsea side and last season's Premier League winners could face Arsenal next.

In the draw for the fourth round, which took place ahead of the City-Chelsea match, those two were paired with either Arsenal or third-tier Oxford. That game takes place at Oxford's Kassam Stadium on Monday.

Meanwhile, Liverpool or Wolves will travel to Brighton in round four, with Manchester United at home to Reading and Tottenham away to Preston North End.

Following their shock win at Coventry City on Saturday, fifth-tier Wrexham are at home to another Championship side: Sheffield United. League Two side Stevenage travel to Stoke City of the Championship after their huge win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
