On Monday evening, the draw for the third round of the FA Cup took place. With the draw, it became clear that in this round, where "Premier League" teams are already involved, three "Premier League" club matches await. "West Ham" will host "Leeds United" at home, "Leicester City" defending the FA Cup will face "Watford", and "Manchester United" will face "Aston Villa" at home. "Manchester United" has already played against "Aston Villa" at home once this season. They suffered a painful 0:1 defeat then. "Chelsea" awaits a semi-professional "Chesterfield" team. "Manchester City" will travel to face a team from "League Two" - "Swindon Town". "Tottenham" and "Liverpool" will host teams from "League One" - "Morecambe" and "Shrewsbury" respectively, while "Arsenal" will travel to the Nottingham Forest stadium, where in 2018 they unexpectedly acknowledged their opponents' advantage.
