Chelsea have been drawn against Manchester City in the third round of the FA Cup as a mouthwatering tie has been setup.
The game will take place at the Etihad stadium, the same venue that the two teams faced off at in the Carabao Cup earlier this month. Pep Guardiola's side came out 2-0 victors on that day as Graham Potter's Blues exited the competition at the first hurdle.
This round is the first for Premier League sides and offers the chance for lower league opposition to be drawn in luxury fixtures against some of the biggest clubs in the country.
