Видео по теме
Arsenal will host Liverpool in a blockbuster third-round FA Cup tie next month. The Premier League giants are meeting for the first time in the competition since Arsenal won a fifth-round tie 2-1 in 2014.
The Gunners have come out on top in their past three FA Cup clashes, with Liverpool’s last victory back in the final of 2001.
In the other standout tie of the draw the Championship club Sunderland are paired with their neighbours Newcastle, who will travel to the Stadium of Light over the weekend of 6-7 January.
It will be a first meeting between the north east giants since they were both in the Premier League in 2015-16, while they have not played each other in the FA Cup since 1956.
There were several other all Premier League ties, with Tottenham hosting Burnley, Everton travelling to Crystal Palace, and Brentford facing Wolves.

Ties to be played on Saturday 6 January and Sunday 7 January.
Manchester City, the FA Cup holders, were handed a home tie against the Championship strugglers Huddersfield, while Manchester United will make the short trip to the 2013 winners Wigan.
Non-league Maidstone would no doubt have hoped for a plum tie following their second-round win against Barrow but were handed a home date with either Stevenage or Port Vale.
