FA Cup third-round draw has been made
One of the best FA Cup third-round draws in recent years threw up some intriguing contests as Ruben Amorim will take his Manchester United side to Arsenal, while Liverpool face a Lancashire derby and Tottenham will be on their way to Staffordshire to face a National League giantkiller.
United and Arsenal will go head-to-head at The Emirates this week in the Premier League before facing off again in north London in January, while Arne Slot’s Liverpool will host Accrington Stanley and Spurs head to Tamworth, who saw off League One sides Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion in the previous two rounds.
Elsewhere, Manchester City will host Salford City in a big local derby, while League Two Harrogate Town will have the short trip to Elland Road to face Yorkshire rivals Leeds United.
