FA Cup third round draw confirmed as Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal discover fate

Rivals Liverpool and Everton will meet in the FA Cup third round.

Jurgen Klopp's Premier League leaders will have home advantage in the cup Merseyside derby, which will take place from January 3-6.

Holders Manchester City landed a home tie against Port Vale, while Manchester United will visit Wolves, the club that knocked them out of last season's competition at the quarter-final stage.

The draw, conducted at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium by Tony Adams and Micah Richards, landed dream opportunities for some of the non-league sides in the hat.

National League AFC Fylde will mark their first third-round appearance with a trip to Sheffield United, with National League North Boston hosting Newcastle if they beat Rochdale in a second-round replay.
