Wrexham Draws Ipswich, Macclesfield Faces Brentford in FA Cup
12 Jan
Summary
- Wrexham will host Ipswich Town in the FA Cup fourth round.
- Sixth-tier Macclesfield faces Premier League's Brentford at home.
- Wrexham achieved their first win vs. Premier League side in 26 years.
Wrexham is set to face fellow Championship side Ipswich Town in a significant FA Cup fourth-round clash. This draw follows Wrexham's impressive penalty shootout victory over Nottingham Forest, marking their first win against a Premier League team in 26 years. The club, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, will be aiming to reach the FA Cup fourth round stage for the first time since 1997.
In another notable tie, sixth-tier Macclesfield Town, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, has earned a home fixture against high-flying Premier League side Brentford. This comes after Macclesfield produced one of the FA Cup's biggest shocks by eliminating the previous holders, Crystal Palace.
The fourth round also features other compelling matchups, including Aston Villa hosting Newcastle United and Manchester City potentially facing Salford City at home, provided Salford can overcome Swindon Town in their postponed third-round tie. New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior will make a return to his former club, Hull City.
