The FA Cup third round should be done and dusted this weekend with plenty of choice games to be played as Premier League and Championship sides enter the competition.
There are all-Premier League ties on the agenda in the shape of Everton vs Sunderland, Newcastle vs Bournemouth, Tottenham vs Aston Villa, and Manchester United vs Brighton.
There's also potential for FA Cup upsets: can League One Barnsley produce a shock away to Liverpool, or third-tier Exeter City get a result for the ages at Manchester City? Might non-league Macclesfield pull it off at home to holders Crystal Palace?
How and when to watch the FA Cup fourth round draw
Whoever makes it through those games will of course go straight into the hat for the fourth round. And with no replays in effect these days, that should make the draw pretty straightforward...as long as the weather doesn't hit the schedule.
