In the two high-profile matches of the round, Swansea welcome Arsenal to the Liberty Stadium, while Manchester United travel to East London to face West Ham.

Meanwhile, Liverpool face non-league competition and will travel to either Lincoln City or Mansfield Town. Sunderland travel to Bolton Wanderers, as Reading will have to contend with Crawley Town.
