The FA Cup Third Round draw has thrown up some massive ties as holders Manchester United travel to the Emirates to face 14-time winners Arsenal.
Elsewhere, Premier League title-favourites Liverpool host League Two Accrington Stanley.
In an intriguing local derby, Manchester United’s famous ‘Class of ’92’ including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and David Beckham.
Tottenham face a potential giant-killing as they host non-league Tamworth. In the only other all-Premier League tie, Aston Villa face West Ham in a claret and blue showdown at Villa Park.
Chelsea host Morecambe, Newcastle United play Bromley, and Brighton travel to Norwich City.
With Premier League and Championship clubs entering the draw, the FA Cup third round draw is always hotly anticipated.
The chance for lower and non-league teams to face top-flight opposition – and potentially earn big TV money – is especially exciting.
Tamworth, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, beat Burton Albion on penalties to earn their trip to Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Dagenham & Redbridge make the short trip to Championship side Millwall.
In one of the best stories of the draw, veteran Everton defender Ashley Young could line up against his 18-year-old son Tyler after his side drew Peterborough.
All of these ties are to be played over the weekend of 11 January.
