FA Cup third round draw in full: Arsenal handed away tie, Man Utd face Brighton as Tottenham get Aston Villa

"The Gunners, who have been knocked out of the competition by the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City in recent seasons, should fancy their chances against a Championship side. Arsenal beat Portsmouth 2-0 at Fratton Park en route to winning the FA Cup during the 2019-20 season and Mikel Arteta will be hopeful it's a good omen as he seeks to end his side's long wait for a major trophy."

"Tottenham, meanwhile, will take on Villa in arguably the standout tie from the FA Cup third round draw. These sides met in the fourth round last season with Unai Emery's side emerging victorious at Villa Park. Elsewhere, Man City will welcome Exeter City to the Etihad Stadium, Liverpool host Barnsley and Chelsea have been handed a London derby away at Charlton."

Arsenal will face Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round while Tottenham have been drawn against Aston Villa. Arsenal have been eliminated in recent seasons by Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City but face a Championship side this time. Arsenal defeated Portsmouth 2-0 at Fratton Park during the 2019-20 cup run and Mikel Arteta will hope the fixture provides momentum toward a major trophy. Tottenham and Aston Villa renew their recent rivalry after last season's fourth-round meeting at Villa Park. Several Premier League clubs draw lower-league opponents and non-league sides also received third-round ties.
