Afternoon all. It's the draw that seems to get everybody's pulses raised - the FA Cup third round!

It's the one which sees the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool join some of the minnows from the Football League and even further down than that. Literally anyone can play anyone, as we have seen so often down the years.

Right, in around a minute or so the first ball will be drawn out. How are the nerves?! Incidentally, Fabrice Muamba and Ledley King will be doing the honours today.

Here we go...

Crystal Palace vs. Stoke City

Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Newcastle United

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Coventry City

Wigan Athletic vs. Bournemouth

Fulham vs. Blackpool

Aston Villa vs. Ipswich Town

Charlton Athletic vs. Huddersfield Town

Barrow or Macclesfield vs. Cardiff City

Barnsley vs. Burnley

Manchester City vs. Watford

Swansea City vs. Arsenal

Leicester City vs. Burton Albion

Millwall vs. Preston North End

Cheltenham or Hereford vs. Everton

Derby County vs. Tranmere Rovers

Crawley Town vs. Reading

Aldershot Town vs. Rotherham or Notts County

Middlesbrough vs. Harrogate or Hastings

Accrington or Oxford vs. Sheffield United

Southampton vs. Chelsea

Queens Park Rangers vs. West Bromwich Albion

Peterborough United vs. Norwich City

Lincoln or Mansfield vs. Liverpool

Bolton Wanderers vs. Sunderland

Nottingham Forest vs. Oldham Athletic

West Ham United vs. Manchester United

Hull City vs. Alfreton or Leyton Orient

Blackburn Rovers vs. Bristol City

Leeds United vs. Birmingham City

Bury or Southend vs. Bradford or Brentford

Luton Town vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sheffield Wednesday vs. MK Dons

And breathe! Phew, that's done.

Well there are a couple of ties there that catch the eye immediatley. West Ham vs. Man United is arguably the biggest encounter. However, what an incentive for Lincoln and Mansfield to win their replay. The winner will be at home to Liverpool!

Other potential upset chances perhaps: Crystal Palace vs. Stoke, Brighton vs. Newcastle and Crawley vs. Reading? Cue abuse from fans of those Premier League clubs!

Right, well that was short and sweet! Hopefully your team got the tie you were after. Thanks for joining us this afternoon.
