Liverpool face Everton in FA Cup third round draw – as it happened

That concludes the draw! There’s no doubt about the highlights. We’ve got two huge derbies: Liverpool v Everton and Brighton v Crystal Palace. You can’t complain about that, can you? Meanwhile Arsenal, the holders, have a decent tie away to Nottingham Forest, Manchester United host Derby County and Manchester City have a tough one at home to Burnley. Chelsea go to Norwich City, which might be awkward, and if you’re looking for shock potential then Fulham and Shrewsbury might fancy themselves at home to Southampton and West Ham respectively. That’s all from me. Bye!
