In a strange quirk of the fourth-round draw and fixture schedule, all six FA Cup ties today pit former winners against a team who have never lifted the trophy. Everton (five FA Cups) have other priorities this season, but a home tie with Luton (1959 losing finalists) offers the chance to extend a galvanising Cup run. Then again, the Hatters won at Goodison in the league, back in September.

The final 3pm (GMT) kick-off sees Leeds (1972 winners) entertain Plymouth (semi-finalists in 1984).
