Leeds face Arsenal in the FA Cup


Story Tools

LONDON. England (CNN) -- Leeds United, struggling in the midst of a financial crisis and a target for takeover bids, have been drawn at home to FA Cup holders Arsenal in the third round.

Manchester United will be away to Aston Villa and legendary giant-killers Yeovil, now in Division Three, are at home to Liverpool.

Premiership leaders Chelsea make the short trip to Watford and last year's runners-up Southampton entertain Newcastle.

There will be two other all-Premiership ties on January 3/4, including a repeat of Saturday's game between Birmingham and Blackburn, which Graeme Souness' side won 4-0.

Kevin Keegan's Manchester City are at home to Leicester.

Eight-time winners Tottenham will face London rivals Crystal Palace, the 1990 finalists, and high-flying Fulham meet Third Division Cheltenham.

Conference side Telford, who dispatched Brentford 3-0 in the second round, will be disappointed at having to travel to Crewe, but non-league Accrington will fancy their chances of a home success against Colchester if they win their replay against Bournemouth.
