FA Cup third round draw: Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool discover their opponents.

Arsenal will take on defending champions Manchester United in the FA Cup third round, while Tamworth will host Tottenham Hotspur.

In this year’s FA Cup third round, Arsenal will welcome Manchester United, setting the stage for a clash between two Premier League giants.

Meanwhile, Manchester City will play at home against Salford City, Liverpool will face Accrington Stanley, Newcastle will meet Bromley, and Aston Villa will go up against West Ham.

Defending champions Manchester United will travel to Arsenal in a highly anticipated matchup as both teams are considered strong contenders for the trophy early in the New Year.

Notable fixtures include Tottenham Hotspur visiting non-league Tamworth, and Bromley, making their debut in the FA Cup third round, will travel to St James’ Park to challenge Newcastle United.

Premier League leaders Liverpool, who eliminated Arsenal in the third round last season, will compete against Accrington Stanley, while Manchester City will face Salford City in a compelling local matchup.

The third-round matches are scheduled to take place over the weekend of January 10-13, with the FA set to announce the complete schedule soon.
