Many footballers waiting for tonight's FA Cup fourth round draw will sympathise with Hull City's Amir Hadziahmetovic, who admits he is torn over who he wants to play next.

For the first time in six years, the Tigers are in the hat after ending their losing streak in the competition with a 0-0 draw and 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over Blackburn Rovers.

They are one of only three Yorkshire teams in the draw, which comes ahead of Barnsley's trip to Liverpool.

Leeds United were the only other team to progress from round three, coming from behind to beat Derby County 3-1.

Last season's Europa League finalists Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are already out of the competition, along with holders Crystal Palace, but the rest of the Premier League giants remain.

This is Bosnian midfielder Hadziahmetovic's first season in England, and therefore his first taste of FA Cup, Inevitably after the game he asked what he was hoping for from his second.

"I'm 50-50 about this," he said. "Of course I'd like to play against a big team in England, in another stadium, in an away stadium, but also I'd like to go through to the next round, so whoever comes we'll give our best and we'll try to make the best out of it."

Asked about ending Hull's miserable record in the world's most famous cup competition, Hadziahmetovic said: "I didn't know about this until after the game, it's good that we break the curse and we went on to the next round. We'll try to do it also in the next game, to go on to the next round, so I'm really happy about the win."

Owner/chairman Acun Ilicali has already made clear who he does not want in round four after the appointment of former Hull player and coach Liam Rosenior as Chelsea's latest manager.

"I wouldn't like to meet with Chelsea in the fourth or fifth round at home or away at Stamford Bridge," he said. "The only place I think we should meet Liam's team this season is in the FA Cup final at Wembley in May. Then, if we lose to Liam's side, we will not be too sad if it is at Wembley."

When told about his chairman's wish, current Hull coach Sergej Jakirovic smiled: "This is a secret message to me."

He will be watching the draw, due to take place at approximately 6.35pm.

"It's very interesting, it's a big tradition here," said Jakirovic, another Bosnian in his first season in England. "I didn't know that this draw is like this, organised and everything."
