The draw for the Fourth Round Proper of The FA Youth Cup sponsored by E.ON has been made at Soho Square.
With most of the Third Round ties still to be played, there are no clear-cut ties in today's draw.
But Ipswich Town, who came from 3-1 down after 82 minutes to win 5-3 in normal time at Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday, know that their heroics at Loftus Road have earned them a home Fourth Round tie against the winners of next Tuesday's match between Scunthorpe United and Watford.
If it turns out to be Ipswich v Watford, it will be a tie featuring two former winners of the competition.
The only other team definitely through to the Fourth Round is Leeds United. Their reward for a 3-0 victory at Luton on Wednesday is an away tie at the winners of next Tuesday's match between Everton and Bristol City.
Everton v Leeds would also be a meeting of two sides who have lifted the trophy.
Liverpool will be trying for the first hat-trick of FA Youth Cup Final successes since Manchester United managed it in the 1950s. If the Merseysiders get past Wycombe Wanderers next Wednesday, they could be welcoming Arsenal to Anfield in January.
