Bradford joint chairman Mark Lawn hopes Sunderland beat Fulham and book themselves an FA Cup fifth-round trip to Valley Parade.
After the momentous 4-2 win at Chelsea on Saturday, Lawn, co-chairman Julian Rhodes and Bradford manager Phil Parkinson had all been hoping to be drawn against Manchester United but are now waiting on the Sunderland v Fulham replay to discover their opponents in the next round.
"If we can't get Man United, Liverpool or Arsenal, let's have a home draw. It's up to us now," Lawn said.
"We're the lowest-ranked team left in it, apart from Cambridge, and the odds are stacked against us, but let's give it our best shot.
"If we play like we did against Chelsea we will take some stopping.
I would prefer Sunderland because of my mother. She was a Mackem. I lost her in 1993 and she was one of 13 children, so imagine how many cousins I've got!.

"She moved down here just after the war and worked in Harry Ramsden's. That's where she met my dad."
On the future of Parkinson, Lawn added: "It would have to be something very special to take him from here. His family live in the area and I'm sure they're all very happy here.
"That would end up being down to Phil, but of course we want to keep him."
