Arsenal To Host Liverpool In FA Cup

By Sedara Philip

FA Cup third-round draw was made earlier, with the pick of the ties seeing Premier League leaders Arsenal hosting eight-time winners Liverpool.

Elsewhere, Sunderland will face Newcastle in a Tyne-Wear derby at the Stadium of Light and holders Manchester City will entertain Huddersfield Town.

Manchester United will visit 2013 winners Wigan Athletic, Tottenham will host Burnley, and Everton will travel to Crystal Palace.

The third round will be played between 5 and 8 January.

Isthmian League South East Division side Ramsgate, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, will host Championship high-flyers Ipswich if they can beat AFC Wimbledon on Monday.

Maidstone, of the National League South, can look forward to a home tie against either Stevenage or Port Vale.
