FA Cup Third Round Draw in full, as 8th tier Marine FC to host PL leaders Spurs

It’s the moment when for many fans, the FA Cup properly gets underway, with the draw for the third round having now taken place.

The first round proper kicked off earlier this month, with League One and Two clubs joining the non-league sides who successfully navigated the qualifying rounds.

However, those sides are now joined by the big boys from the Premier League and Championship, with the third round games always seeming to throw up a number of David v Goliath encounters.

This year is no different, with eight tiered Marine FC set to host the likes of Harry Kane, Heung Min Son and Gareth Bale as Jose Mourinho’s Premier League leading Spurs side travel to Merseyside.

Elsewhere, FA Cup holders Arsenal host Newcastle, while Manchester United welcome Watford to Old Trafford.

Manchester City will also entertain Championship opponents in the form of Birmingham, while reigning English champions Liverpool travel down the M6 to take on Aston Villa.

Chelsea host League 2 side Morecambe, while non-league Stockport host West Ham.
