FA Cup third round draw: Liverpool land Arsenal, holders Man City to face Huddersfield as Man Utd get tougher opponent that could Eliminate them from the competition
WHAT HAPPENED
Arsenal are, as 14-time winners, the most successful side in the competition’s history. They have been handed the toughest of draws to open another quest for ultimate glory in 2023-24 as they prepare to play host to Liverpool. City will be facing Championship opposition on home soil, while United make the short trip to Lancashire neighbours from League One.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Tottenham will be involved in an all-Premier League affair with Burnley in north London, while Chelsea are set to welcome Preston North End to Stamford Bridge. Newcastle are readying themselves for a derby date with North East neighbours Sunderland and a meeting between Wolves and Brentford means that at least one more top-flight side will be bowing out at the third round stage.
