Plenty of English football's bigger clubs have yet to guarantee their spot in the fourth round.
Arsenal, the most successful side in FA Cup history with 13 titles, host Leeds United on Monday and will have a fourth round tie against Bournemouth if they are victorious.
Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Watford, beaten finalists in 2018-19, all face replays against lower-league opposition in the third round after being held to draws over the weekend.
The only confirmed all-Premier League tie of the fourth round at the time of the draw wasBurnley's clash with Norwich City.

Recent seasons have seen the FA Cup dominated by the bigger Premier League sides.
Arsenal have won three of the last six tournaments, with United, Chelsea and City winning the other three.
The last time there was a surprise winner was in 2012-13, when Wigan Athletic beat the City to claim the trophy for the first time.
Liverpool, already champions-elect in the Premier League, have not won the FA Cup since 2006, and they last made a final in 2012, when they lost to Chelsea.
A spot in the last 16 of this season's FA Cup seems all but guaranteed for Jurgen Klopp's side. Neither Bristol City, currently 11th in the Championship, norShrewsbury, 14th in League One, are likely to cause many problems for the European champions.
