There’s no doubting the pick of the ties to come out of the hat for the FA Cup third round, with Liverpool following Manchester United out of the bag and that means a thrilling spectacle at Old Trafford.

The Merseyside club have already been to this ground in the Premier League this season, where they fought back from two goals down only for Dimitar Berbatov’s late winner to help the Red Devils to all three points.

It’s not a fixture that Roy Hodgson will have wanted, considering that success in the FA Cup and a piece of silverware would go some way to making up for a poor Premier League position this term.

Meanwhile, Leeds United have a chance to repeat some of their cup heroics last year with an away tie at Arsenal, something which will see several thousand away supporters descend on the Emirates.

Chelsea also have a home tie against Roy Keane’s Ipswich Town, while the two non-league teams left in the competition have been given away ties.

York City have got a Premier League team waiting for them in the form of Bolton Wanderers, while Dover will head to Huddersfield. FC United of Manchester will host Portsmouth if they can beat Brighton in a replay.
