The historic FA Cup third round is here and there are a host of interesting ties in store.

National League side Chesterfield, who beat the Class of 92's Salford City in the second round, got themselves a great draw as they take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The three other non-league sides still in the cup didn't get quite such eye-catching ties with Boreham Wood playing against AFC Wimbledon next.

Kidderminster Harriers, who play in the National League North, are at home to Reading, while National League Yeovil Town face Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard is set to receive a hostile reception in his first FA Cup match as a manager with his Aston Villa side being drawn away to Manchester United.

The 41-year-old, who's made a strong start to his Villa tenure and has just completed a deal for Philippe Coutinho, is of course best known for his days playing for the Red Devils' arch-rivals Liverpool.

Meanwhile, record-winners Arsenal have a tricky trip to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool host League One Shrewsbury Town.

Holders Leicester, who beat Chelsea in last season's final, are set to entertain Watford and former manager Claudio Ranieri.
