LIVERPOOL, England (AP) \u2014 Six-division Macclesfield payoff. Defeat the Crystal Palace<\/span> One of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history was a home game against a Premier League opponent, this time against Brentford in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

Macclesfield coach John Rooney, brother of England great Wayne Rooney, said: “I’ve always said I like Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.” “But the other Premier League team is great.”<\/p>\n

Title holders Palace were one of only six teams in the top six to have been eliminated in the third round, succumbing to a team 117 places below them in English football’s league pyramid. Other names included Manchester United, Tottenham, Everton, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior will take his team to former second-tier club Hull, but Manchester City will face lower-league sides Salford City or Swindon on Tuesday. Arsenal will host third-tier Wigan at home.<\/p>\n

In all Premier League matches, Aston Villa host Newcastle, while Brighton face Liverpool, who beat third-tier Barnsley 4-1 on Monday.<\/p>\n

Wrexham, a second division team owned by Hollywood celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny, defeated Forest before being drawn at home to fellow Championship club Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n

The match will take place around the weekend of February 14-15.<\/p>\n
