Bristol City, who drew 1-1 at home to Shrewsbury on Saturday, pulled off one of the great FA Cup shocks last time they faced Liverpool, winning a third-round replay 1-0 at Anfield in 1994 as a second-tier side, a result that led to the resignation of the Anfield club's boss Graeme Souness.
Shrewsbury had less luck in their only ever meeting with Liverpool, losing 4-0 at home in the fourth round in 1996. The Merseysiders last won the FA Cup in 2006.
Holders Manchester City host Fulham while Manchester United or Wolverhampton Wanderers, who drew 0-0 at Molineux on Sunday, will play last year's runners-up Watford or Tranmere Rovers, who came from 3-0 down to draw their third-round tie 3-3.
Arsenal, who have won the world's oldest cup competition a record 13 times will be away to Premier League counterparts Bournemouth.
Burnley vs. Norwich City is the other all-Premier League match-up among the fourth round fixtures, which will be played between Jan. 24-27.
Championship side Birmingham City have been drawn away at either Bristol Rovers or Coventry City but could play on their own ground if Coventry win the replay between the third-tier sides since the Sky Blues currently share St Andrew's.

- Bristol City or Shrewsbury Town vs. Liverpool
