LIVERPOOL WILL HOST local rivals Everton at Anfield in a blockbuster Merseyside derby in the third round of the FA Cup.
FA Cup holders Manchester City enter the competition for the first time this season as they seek to defend their title against Port Vale.
Neighbours Manchester United travel to Wolves, as they bid to avenge being dumped out of last year’s competition by Nuno Espírito Santo’s side at the quarter-final stage.
Meanwhile, record winners Arsenal face Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United in what will be their first domestic cup game under the guidance of interim manager Freddie Ljungberg, or indeed a potential new head coach, should one be appointed before the end of December.
There will be five non-league clubs involved in the draw, although AFC Fylde are the only ones guaranteed a place in the third round after beating Kingstonian.
Three of the other four – Boston United, Eastleigh and Hartlepool United – are participating in replays against Rochdale, Crewe Alexandra and Exeter City, respectively, while Solihull Moors are still to play Rotherham United.
Third-round ties will be played between January 3 and 6.
