Default [2013/2014] FA Cup

Arsenal will face arch-rivals Tottenham in FA Cup third round draw... while Man United host Premier League side Swansea

Arsenal have been drawn against north London rivals Tottenham in the FA Cup third round.

The game is the pick of the bunch, with other notable matches including last season's defeated finalists Manchester City travelling to Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea facing Derby away and Manchester United hosting Swansea.

Current cup holders Wigan will begin their defence of the trophy at home against Milton Keynes Dons.


The big one: Arsenal will face Tottenham at the Emirates in the best tie of the round


Jubilant: Wigan won the FA Cup last season against all odds by beating Man City in the final

Elsewhere, Liverpool will face either Oldham or Mansfield at Anfield, while West Brom v Crystal Palace, Newcastle v Cardiff and Norwich v Fulham are all Premier League clashes.

Oldham beat the Reds 3-2 in the fourth round last time and they will get another crack at Brendan Rodgers' men if they can overcome Mansfield in their second-round replay.

Liverpool also met Mansfield in the third round last season, with Luis Suarez's contentious second goal - when the Uruguay international handled the ball before scoring - earning his side a 2-1 win.

The last time Arsenal won any trophy was in the FA Cup, in 2005, but to do so again would mean beating their bitter rivals at the first hurdle.

Meanwhile, United might have been hoping for a more favourable cup draw following a hugely disappointing start to the defence of their league title which has seen them lose five times in 15 matches under new boss David Moyes, with their latest setback Saturday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle at Old Trafford. United have won the FA Cup 11 times, but the last time was back in 2004.

In other games, last season's semi-finalists Millwall are at Southend, Brighton welcome Reading, Bolton take on Blackpool, League One leaders Leyton Orient go to Yeovil, Rochdale face Leeds, Ipswich clash with Preston, Bristol City take on Watford, Doncaster face Stevenage and Plymouth go to Port Vale.

Also, Barnsley host Hartlepool or Coventry, Birmingham meet Bristol Rovers or Crawley while Bournemouth take on Fleetwood or Burton.
