Manchester United were the first of the big boys to be pulled from the hat and they’ve been drawn at home with Jose Mourinho’s men taking on Reading at Old Trafford.

Premier League leaders Chelsea will also play on home soil with Antonio Conte’s side due to take on the winner of Notts County or Peterborough United at Stamford Bridge after they drew 2-2 at the weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur face a tricky test against seven-time FA Cup winners Aston Villa at White Hart Lane while Liverpool will entertain the winner of Newport County or Plymouth Argyle at Anfield.

Arsenal have a superb recent record in the competition having won the FA Cup twice out of the last three seasons but they will face a tricky third round clash as they’ve been draw away from the Emirates with Arsene Wenger taking his men to Preston North End.

Perhaps one of the ties of the round will see Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City head to London Stadium to take on Slaven Bilic’s West Ham United while Everton will face Premier League champs Leicester City.
