Holders Arsenal have been drawn to face Hull City in the third round of the FA Cup in a rematch of last season's final, while Liverpool will travel to AFC Wimbeldon.

The Gunners were the first team out of the hat in Monday's draw at Hull's 'The Deep' aquarium and will once again take on the side they defeated in extra-time to end a nine-year trophy drought at Wembley in May.
Brendan Rodgers' men, meanwhile, will continue their bid for a first FA Cup triumph since 2006 with a trip to Kingsmeadow to take on League Two opponents who have reached the third round for the first time.

Premier League leaders Chelsea will welcome Championship promotion-chasers Watford to Stamford Bridge, while Manchester City host Sheffield Wednesday and Accrington or Yeovil will take on Manchester United.

The draw also threw up three all-Premier League ties, with Leicester City taking on Newcastle, Burnley hosting Tottenham and West Ham welcoming Everton to Upton Park.

Elsewhere, Conference sides Dover and Gateshead were rewarded for their surprise runs with matches against Crystal Palace at home and West Brom away respectively.

The third round ties will be played over four days between Saturday January 3 and Tuesday January 6.
