Leicester upset Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley in May 2020 to win the FA Cup for the first time

Manchester United entertain Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round, while holders Leicester City welcome Watford and West Ham United are at home to Leeds United following Mondayโ€™s draw.

Non-league Chesterfield bagged a trip to face last seasonโ€™s runners-up Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, while Antonio Conteโ€™s Tottenham Hotspur host League One Morecambe.
Third-tier Swindon Town landed the possibility of a giant-killing when they were drawn at home to Manchester City.
The third round, to be played from Jan. 7-10, includes teams from the Premier League and second-tier Championship.
Replays will return to this seasonโ€™s competition after being dropped for COVID-19 enforced reasons last term, meaning Shrewsbury Town can dream of bringing Liverpool back to Montgomery Waters Meadow if they can force a draw at Anfield.
Kidderminster Harriers, the lowest ranked side left in the FA Cup, host Championship (second-tier) side Reading.
