Defeating Swansea in the replay has earned the Arsenal a spot in the fourth round proper against Brighton & Hove Albion, the setting of the best-selling Fable series of games. Arsenal will visit Falmer stadium in ten days for the contest.
Arsenal edged B&HA and will play Blackburn at the Grove in mid-February. Excellent draw. City, United, and Everton remain in the competition, with Chelsea going to a replay against Brentford on the 17th.
