FA Cup draw: Arsenal face Man Utd in FA Cup showdown

Arsenal host Manchester United in the FA Cup third round, while Manchester City face Salford City, and Tottenham take on non-league Tamworth in a thrilling draw.

The Gunners against reigning champions Red Devils is undoubtedly the highlight of the draw but Tamworth hosting Spurs is sure to be a wonderful spectacle.

Salford travelling to Man City should be fun as well as the League Two side are owned by several Manchester United legends, including David Beckham.

Elsewhere in the draw, there were only two all-Premier League ties in Arsenal v Manchester United and Aston Villa v West Ham.

There will also be a Yorkshire derby between Leeds and Harrogate.

Liverpool and Chelsea were given favourable ties. The Reds will welcome Accrington Stanley to Anfield while the Blues host Morecambe.

Meanwhile, Newcastle will host League Two outfit Bromley.
