Peterborough United have been drawn away to Premier League Everton in the third round of the FA Cup.
The clubs have only met once in a competitive fixture and that was a League Cup tie in September, 2016. It was the first game as Peterborough United owner for current chief Darragh MacAnthony. Everton won 2-1 with an 87th minute winner from Tim Sherwood after Trevor Benjamin had equalised an early Jude Stirling own goal.
Posh have never played at Goodison Park and this was their final opportunity as Everton move into a new ground in time for next season. Respective managers Darren Ferguson and Sean Dyche have competed against each other in a previous FA Cup tie when then Premier League Burnley knocked Posh out 4-2 in a 2020 third round tie.
