FA Cup third-round draw: Liverpool v Everton, Man Utd v Derby, Forest v Arsenal

FA Cup: Everton 4-4 Liverpool highlights from 1990-91 fifth-round replay

Liverpool will face Everton in the FA Cup third round, while holders Arsenal will travel to Nottingham Forest.

Premier League leaders Manchester City have a home tie against Burnley, Manchester United host Derby and Chelsea are away at Norwich.

Seventh-tier Hereford, the lowest-ranked side left, will face Leicester if they overcome Fleetwood at the second attempt.

Three non-league sides remain but all are involved in replays.

National League side AFC Fylde will head to Premier League Bournemouth if they see off Wigan in a replay. Woking, who also play in the fifth tier, know victory over Peterborough in their replay will earn them a trip to Championship side Aston Villa.

In the pick of the other ties, AFC Wimbledon will travel to Wembley to take on Tottenham, Middlesbrough face Sunderland and Brighton & Hove Albion will host Crystal Palace - the latter one of three all-Premier League contests.

The Merseyside derby gives Liverpool the chance to correct one of cup football's more unusual statistics - that the Reds have never beaten Everton in an FA Cup tie at Anfield.

In fact, the last time the Toffees lost at that ground in either the FA Cup or League Cup was in 1892, when Anfield was their home stadium and they were beaten by Burnley.

Ties will take place on the weekend of 6-7 January 2018.

Man U v Derby

Nostalgia. There was a time when that was the tie of the round

But Man U aren't quite what they once were

BBC why does your headline refer to Man Utd, they are not league leaders of cup holders?

BBC will still pick Man Utd v Derby though, guaranteed.

Looking forward to Newcastle V Luton.
Ex-Newcastle winger Rob Lee's two sons, Olly and Elliot, both play for Luton. Rob Lee was also playing 23 years ago against a Luton team including 18 year old John Hartson which knocked the then favourites out the cup. With Newcastle concentrating on avoiding relegation and Luton flying, having scored 7+ times on three occasions so far, it should be a cracker

"Let's hope Everton smash Liverpool"

What so you can release another DVD like you did the last time you smashed us in 2006?

Arsenal have got an away tie. That's odd.

Some brilliant fixtures, could be a few upsets. But I assume bbc will show Man U v Derby. I believe The last time Man U weren’t on tv for an fa cup game was 1930

Good to see some of the lower teams having a decent payday from the draw - Shrewsbury v West ham or Forest Green / Exeter v W.B.A are a good examples....what the F.A cup is all about - every club has their chance come what may - good for football, good for supporters young and old

BBC, it's Port Vale or Yeovil Town v Bradford. Get it right please.

BBC, please don't show the Utd game. There are so many more exciting fixtures involving teams who like to entertain the fans.

A couple of funny quotes from the one and only Bill Shankly on Everton:

When I’ve nothing better to do, I look down the league table to see how Everton are getting along.

If Everton were playing at the bottom of the garden, I’d pull the curtains.

Hope both managers take the game seriously. It has been a long time since either club have won silverware and both sets of fans would be disappointed to see their club bow out early due to the manager not giving the FA cup the respect it deserves. Plus there is nothing a football fan wants more than seeing their side beat their local rivals in a cup match

Lot's of silly little boys on here this morning. All making out their club is the greatest and all other clubs are rubbish. All claiming that the other clubs have bought their way to the top while theirs is the epitomy of how a club should be run.

You all talk as though you are responsible for your club's success. You aren't, so stop being so childish and obnoxious and just enjoy your football

Not sure this is what Brighton wanted, another clash with Palace after last weeks crowd trouble.
Will be interesting to see what is said about this.

lewlil. " Liverpool are a very different proposition to West Ham and Huddersfield ".
