FA Cup third round draw LIVE: Arsenal draw Liverpool in HUGE clash, Newcastle face Sunderland – updates

Non-League Eastleigh defeat Reading

Eastleigh scored a last-minute winner to defeat League One side Reading in the FA Cup second round!

Fans left stunned at legend’s outfit during draw

Arsenal legend Ian Wright drew comparisons to the Michelin man thanks to his huge winter coat.

Wright was at the Silverlake Stadium as non-league Eastleigh hosted Reading in the FA Cup second round.

And fans could not take their eyes off the pundit’s massive jacket, which is a Moncler and Adidas hybrid costing nearly £2,000.

One said: “Ian Wright borrowing the Michelin Man’s winter coat for the live FA Cup game today.”

Another added: “Are we going to have a chat about Ian Wright’s coat?”

One joked: “I don’t think Ian Wright’s coat is big enough…”

First Tyne-Wear derby in seven years

The FA Cup third round will see Newcastle face local rivals Sunderland for the first time since 2016!

Man Utd handed away clash

Erik ten Hag’s side have remarkably been drawn at home in the competition for the past three years.

However, that Old Trafford streak is now over after they were picked out to play League One Wigan Athletic away next month.

Last season’s finalists, who were beaten by Manchester City at Wembley, will travel to the Latics on the first weekend of January.

And some supporters were in complete disbelief after seeing United drawn away.

One joked: “Man Utd away in the 3rd round. Hasn’t happened since 1752. Proper end of days stuff.”

Another said: “Away draw on a cup that can’t be right Wigan v Man Utd.”

“The end must be near,” commented another before adding: “Utd getting drawn away just doesn’t happen.”

Fans say FA Cup draw is ‘fixed’

Arsenal fans reckon the FA Cup third round draw is “fixed” after landing a considerably harder tie than their rivals.

The Gunners will host Liverpool in the pick of the bunch.

Meanwhile, Chelsea welcome Preston North End, Manchester United travel to Wigan and City play Huddersfield at home.

It left some Gooners irked and believing the draw was “rigged” and “fixed.”

One said: “Arsenal vs Liverpool in FA cup third round draw! Whereas man united have Wigan away, Man City have Huddersfield. That is fixed.”

Another added: “Liverpool in the FA Cup third round. What a surprise. Another year, another rigged cup draw..”

One fumed: “This FA cup draw is rigged. What are the odds of playing City & Liverpool back to back years in the 3rd round.”

Another raged: “How about that. ANOTHER rigged FA Cup draw.”
