The FA Cup holders Chelsea will begin their defence against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge when the third round begins in January.

Wolves vs Liverpool and Bournemouth vs Brighton were the only all-Premier League ties drawn, while National League North side Solihull Moors drew a dream home tie against Arsenal, although they will have to get past a second-round replay with Blackpool to meet Unai Emery’s Gunners.

Tottenham, who lost Sunday's north London derby at Arsenal, will travel to either League Two Tranmere or National League North Southport.

Cardiff will travel to League One Gillingham, while Newcastle face Championship Blackburn at St James’ Park and Crystal Palace are at home to League Two Grimsby.

Managerless Southampton have been drawn away to Frank Lampard’s promotion-chasing Derby, while Fulham welcome League Two Oldham to Craven Cottage and Championship side Birmingham head for West Ham, with Burnley taking on League One Barnsley at Turf Moor.

Ties will be played on 4-7 January.
