FA Cup third round draw: Unlucky Chelsea to face Man City again after losing in Carabao Cup


2021/2022 FA Cup runners-up Chelsea have been drawn to face Manchester City at the Etihad in the third round of this year’s competition.

Graham Potter’s side dropped to eighth in the Premier League table before the World Cup and they will face Man City when the big guns enter the FA Cup at the start of January.

Chelsea have reached the final in each of the last three seasons but they were beaten by Arsenal, Leicester and Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp’s side, who beat Chelsea on penalties last season to lift the trophy for the eighth time, will also launch their defence against top-flight opposition when they welcome struggling Wolves to Anfield.

Erik ten Hag will get his first taste of world football’s oldest club competition when Manchester United host Everton, while West Ham make the short trip to Brentford and Southampton travel to Crystal Palace.
