FA Cup 3rd Round Draw: Man Utd to Host Reading; Man City Away to West Ham; Chelsea Draw Notts County
The FA Cup third-round draw has been made, adding another competition to the schedule for Premier League clubs.
A total of 64 teams, inclusive of the 20 top flight teams and 24 Championship sides will compete for the prestigious trophy.
Holders Manchester United will host Reading at Old Trafford, while Manchester City will be traveling to the London Stadium to face league rivals West Ham in what should be a very entertaining tie.
League leaders Chelsea have been handed a home tie against Notts County, with their London neighbours Arsenal set to face Preston in an away tie.
Fair to say that the draw was a bit of a disappointment, but there's always a bit of excitement to be had from these ties, and there's alsoalways the old giant killing prospect.
