FA Cup draw, 3rd round: Arsenal and Hull play repeat of last season's final


All the fixtures for the upcoming FA Cup 3rd round.


The 3rd round proper of the FA Cup won't be played for another month, but the teams still involved in the competition learned their fates on Monday.


The marquee tie of the round is undoubtedly Hull City vs. Arsenal, a rematch of last season's final. There are three other matches between two Premier League sides: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Burnley, Leicester City vs. Newcastle and Everton vs. West Ham United.


AFC Wimbledon, the side reborn from the ashes of the team that famously moved to Milton Keynes, has a huge opportunity to record their most famous win since refounding themselves and reclaiming the original Wimbledon's history. They'll host Liverpool in South London. Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace join them in playing much smaller opposition.


There are 64 teams in this round of the competition, with 44 entering from England's top two divisions and 20 qualifying from earlier rounds. Seven replays from the second round still need to be played, so the exact field of 64 won't be known until December 16. FA Cup 3rd round ties will be played during the first weekend in January. In the event of a tie in the FA Cup, there are replays at the first available date at the opposite ground. Ties go to extra time in the event of a draw in the replay.
