The winner of our FA Cup third-round clash with Oxford United will face an away trip to Manchester City in the fourth round, after the draw was made.
Should we manage to knock out the U's, we'll take on the reigning Premier League champions at the Etihad Stadium who beat Chelsea 4-0 at the same venue to advance.
It would be the first time we've faced City in the competition since the 2019/20 semi-final when we recorded a 2-0 victory at Wembley, having also beaten them at the same stage when we were previously paired together in 2016/17.
It could also be the first time we have been drawn away to the Mancunian side in the FA Cup since the 1970/71 campaign, meaning the last three times we've faced City in the competition, we've gone on to lift the trophy that season.
While exact dates and kick-off times will be confirmed in due course, fourth-round ties are due to take place between Friday, January 27 and Monday, January 30.
