Gerrard's Villa Travel To Man Utd, Chelsea Host Chesterfield In FA Cup  (Sky Sports)

FA Cup holders Leicester CitySteven Gerrard's Aston Villa will travel to Manchester United in the FA Cup third round, while last season's runners-up Chelsea will host non-league Chesterfield.

Holders Leicester, who beat Chelsea 1-0 in the 2020/21 final, have been drawn at home to Watford in another all-Premier League tie. West Ham will take on Leeds at the London Stadium.

Chesterfield - currently top of the National League - are one of four guaranteed non-league clubs in the draw. Yeovil earned their place by beating Stevenage on Sunday and face Championship side Bournemouth at Huish Park.

Monday night's game between Boreham Wood and St Albans is guaranteed to send another non-league club into the next round and the winner of that tie will play Wimbledon at home.

Kidderminster of the National League North - the lowest-ranked side remaining - host Reading.

League Two side Swindon will welcome Premier League leaders Manchester City to the County Ground and League One Shrewsbury will travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

Millwall will face London rivals Crystal Palace at the Den, League One outfit Morecambe will travel to Tottenham and Arsenal, who have lifted the trophy a record 14 times, have been drawn to play at Nottingham Forest.

Harrogate, who reached the third round for the first time after winning 2-1 at Portsmouth on Saturday, will take on Luton at Kenilworth Road.

Premier League sides Burnley, Wolves and Newcastle have all been handed home ties, at Huddersfield, Sheffield United and Cambridge respectively.

Everton face a trip to Hull and Southampton travel to Swansea, while the top-flight's bottom club Norwich have been drawn to play at League One side Charlton.

The 32 third-round matches will take place between January 7 and January 10, 2022.
