Third Round FA Cup

The third round of the FA Cup; the final round in which all Championship clubs and Premier League clubs join the remaining clubs in the competition. Read more about the levels, rounds, entrants and dates of the FA Cup.

The last FA Cup draw took place 2 December. All remaining clubs from the previous 8 (!) rounds, were jumbled up together with the new entrants from the two highest tiers. The random draw resulted in 32 new fixtures, played from 4 January till 6 January. This also resulted in an extra Merseyside derby for 2020: Everton and Liverpool will face each other again this Sunday, 5 January. Manchester United will have to compete against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The last three times that United played against the Wolves, they didn’t manage to win.

Manchester City received a much more favourable draw, and will play against Football League Two club Port Vale.

Leicester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will all be playing against Championship clubs: Wigan Athletic FC, Nottingham Forest FC, Middlesbrough en Leeds United.
