The "Big Four" have been kept apart in the next round of the FA Cup - if they get there that is.

Manchester United face a trip to Derby or Nottingham Forest, Chelsea travel to Watford, Arsenal will have a home tie against West Brom or Burnley if they beat Cardiff in their replay, while Liverpool / Everton will play at Doncaster or Aston Villa.

Manchester United were clipped into 3/1 favourites with Chelsea next best at 7/2.

Liverpool have drifted to 8/1 for the cup after they drew 1-1 with Everton on Sunday.

Joleon Lescott flicked in Tim Cahill's header in the first half to give Everton the lead before Steven Gerrard equalised for the Reds early in the second period.

Everton are priced at 18/1 to win the competition.

Last year's finalists Cardiff are 250/1 after they drew 0-0 with the Gunners, and Arsenal are now hot favourites to progress into the fifth round and they are a best price of 11/2 for Wembley glory.
