Birmingham City will go toe-to-toe with West Bromwich Albion after the West Midlands rivals were paired in the draw for the fourth round of the FA cup.

Aston Villa will host Championship leaders AFC Bournemouth while Wolves, should they get past Fulham in a replay at Molineux, will face the long trip to Premier League Sunderland.

The West Midlands derby is a repeat of the famous 1968 FA Cup semi-final which Albion won on the way to lifting the trophy at Wembley.

Both sides beat non-league opposition to set up the mouth-watering clash which will take place on the weekend of January 24.

Gary Rowett's Blues came from 2-0 down to beat Blyth Spartans while the Baggies, now under the reign of Tony Pulis, hammered Gateshead 7-0 at The Hawthorns.

It will be their first meeting since West Brom ran out 3-1 winners in a Premier League tie at St Andrew's in March 2011.

Seven-time winners Villa edged past Championship strugglers Blackpool on Sunday thanks to a late Christian Benteke strike to set up a clash with Bournemouth.

The Cherries are flying under young boss Eddie Howe and are unbeaten in 16 Championship matches.

Wolves fans face a mammoth 400-mile round trip if their team can knock out Fulham in a replay a week tomorrow.

The match would serve as a reunion for Steven Fletcher who left Molineux to join the Black Cats in a £12million move back in 2012.

League Two side Cambridge United will host Manchester United in one of the most eye-catching ties of the round, while the holders Arsenal travel to Brighton.

Manchester City will host Middlesbrough and Millwall will have the short trip to Stamford Bridge to take on London rivals Chelsea if they conquer Bradford City.

The winners of AFC Wimbledon or Liverpool, who face other tonight in a re-match of the 1988 FA Cup final, will face Bolton and either Burnley or Tottenham, who also play tonight, will entertain Leicester City.
