Huddersfield Town and Barnsley FC meet in FA Cup derby as Middlesbrough are handed tough away trip

Meanwhile Middlesbrough were given one of the toughest assignments available, with a match at Manchester United or Aston VIlla.

Barnsley are struggling in this season's Championship, above only Derby County in the table, but they are unbeaten in their last four matches against the Terriers. December's 1-1 draw at Oakwell was the first time since October 2019 they had failed to beat the West Yorkshire side.

Huddersfield have never beaten their South Yorkshire neighbours in an FA Cup tie in four attempts, although they have the upper hand in the League Cup and beaten them in the 2005-06 League One play-offs semi-finals home and away.

Despite that, they will be strong favourites in the 100th season since the only time they won the trophy. They are 26 points and 17 places better off in the table.

Huddersfield were much more impressive in round three as well, coming from behind to win 2-1 at Premier League Burnley whilst Barnsley needed extra time to edge past Conference side Barrow, who were reduced to 10 men after half an hour.

The 5-4 win was Poya Asbaghi's first as coach.

The sides most recent FA Cup meeting was in November 1977, when the Reds won the all-Fourth Division first-round tie 1-0.

Middlesbrough's reward for a hard-fought 3-2 win over in-form League Two side Mansfield Town is a glamour trip to Old Trafford or Villa Park to face the winners of the final tie of this season's third round. Manchester United host Aston Villa on Monday.

Middlesbrough won their last cup tie against the Red Devils in an October 2015 League Cup penalty shoot-out, and the game will be played very close to the 20th anniversary of their last FA Cup win over them, Noel Whelan and Andy Campbell scoring late goals in a fourth-round tie in January 26, 2002.

Boro last beat them at Old Trafford in 2004, Juninho scoring twice in a Premier League win which Cristiano Ronaldo played in as a substitute.

Their only FA Cup win over Villa came in 1950, a 3-0 win in a second replay played at Elland Road. Villa got their revenge five days later with a 4-0 win in the league.

Chris Wilder's side should go into the game high on confidence. Their victory over Mansfield was their sixth in seven matches, the other being a 0-0 draw at Stoke City.

Fourth-round ties will be played to a finish on the day. On Saturday Rotherham United became the first team to go out of the third round on penalties without a replay, beaten 8-7 at Queens Park Rangers.
