FA Cup draw LIVE: Third round fixtures and dates as Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and more learn fate

It's time for the Premier League clubs to enter the FA Cup as the world's oldest football competition kicks up a gear.

Renowned for its famous upsets, muddy pitches and dramatic finals over the years and amid questions over whether it can retain its magic, the FA Cup still draws in football fans from all quarters. With the second round out of the way, we are up to 64 teams as the top-flight and Championship sides enter the fold.

The prize fund for the third round doubled this year to £135,500, it offers a lucrative chance for the minnows of English football to pull off an upset against higher-tier opposition. Non-league outfits Woking and Barnet are in the hat, after beating Swindon and Stockport respectively.
