The visit of Reading will see a return to Old Trafford of former United defender, Japp Stam, who played a crucial role for the club in their 1999 treble-winning season.

Stam’s former United team-mate, Andy Cole, said on BBC Two, “I look forward to that. He’s done very well at Reading. I’m really pleased for him.”

Newport, a fan-owned club, is relishing the prospect of facing Liverpool at Anfield. The club’s chairman, Gavin Foxall, said it would be a “massive financial boost” for the club.

Stourbridge United, the lowest ranked club left in the competition, face a potential trip to League Two Wycombe Wanderers, should the seventh-tier Northern Premier League Premier Division club beat Northampton Town in a rearranged fixture.
