The draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup took place this evening and the big sides will be delighted with.

A combination of laughter and surprised gasps rang out when the first two balls were drawn as it was revealed that last year's FA Cup winners Arsenal would meet the runners up Hull City at the Emirates. Hull City v Arsenal - Premier League Liverpool will be having nightmares of their 1988 FA Cup Final defeat as they were drawn against the victors Wimbledon. The result 26 years ago turned out to be one of the biggest shocks in the history of the competition as the Merseysiders fell to a first-half Lawrie Sanchez goal before Dave Beasant saved a penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgUJYQKZA0U   Manchester United fans won't have an awful lot to complain about as they were drawn against either Yeovil or Accrington Stanley, depending on who wins the replay, but neither side will be giving Louis van Gaal too many sleepless nights. Manchester United v Chelsea - Premier League It's an all London tie as 2012 winners Chelsea will host Watford while 2011 champions Manchester City are home to Sheffield Wednesday. The draw in full is: Arsenal vs. Hull City Southampton vs. Ipswich Town Stoke City vs. Wrexham Charlton Athletic vs. Blackburn Rovers Dover Athletic vs. Crystal Palace AFC Wimbledon vs. Liverpool Manchester City vs. Sheffield Wednesday Aldershot or Rochdale vs. Nottingham Forest West Bromwich Albion vs. Gateshead Blyth Spartans vs. Birmingham City Aston Villa vs. Blackpool Rotherham vs. Bournemouth Huddersfield vs. Reading Oxford United or Tranmere Rovers vs. Swansea City Cardiff City vs. Colchester United Bolton Wanderers vs. Wigan Athletic Sunderland vs. Leeds United Burnley vs. Tottenham Hotspur Millwall vs. Bradford City Derby County vs. Southport Brentford vs. Brighton and Hove Albion Fulham vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers Leicester City vs. Newcastle United Scunthorpe United or Worcester City vs. Chesterfield Everton vs. West Ham United Cambridge United or Mansfield Town vs. Bury or Luton Town Chelsea vs. Watford Barnsley or Chester vs. Middlesbrough Queens Park Rangers vs. Sheffield United Accrington Stanley or Yeovil Town vs. Manchester United Preston North End vs. Norwich City Doncaster Rovers vs. Bristol City
