Manchester City to face Chelsea in FA Cup third round

Manchester City have been drawn to face Chelsea in the FA Cup third round, just weeks after the two teams squared off at the same stage of the EFL Cup.

In the week before the World Cup, City prevailed by a 2-0 scoreline, and the teams will again do battle just days after they meet in a Premier League fixture on January 5.

Holders Liverpool have also been given an all-Premier League tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Manchester United play host to Everton.
