Premier League sides learn FA Cup third round fate

1,657 Comments

There are just two all-Premier League ties to be played in the third round of the FA Cup this season.

Bournemouth and Brighton will go head-to-head at the Vitality Stadium while Wolves are set to host Liverpool.

While the third round of the FA Cup is still some way off, it is obviously worth taking note of the fixtures that will take place.

Those all-Premier League ties may feature slightly stronger XIs compared those involving top flight sides facing lower league opposition.

The toughest tests for those FPL teams includes Chelsea’s hosting of Nottingham Forest, who have knocked out the holders of the FA Cup five times in their last six matches against a reigning champion.

Southampton will travel to Derby County where they will take on Frank Lampard’s in-form side.

Outside of that there appear to be mostly routine matches for the remainder of the Premier League clubs, whose FPL fixtures should be largely unaffected in terms of rotation.

The matches will take place between Gameweek 21 and 22.

Selected fixture list

Bournemouth v Brighton & Hove Albion

Burnley v Barnsley

Bristol City v Huddersfield Town

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest

Crystal Palace v Grimsby

Derby County v Southampton

Everton v Lincoln City

Fulham v Oldham Athletic

Manchester City v Rotherham United

Manchester United v Reading

Newcastle United v Blackburn Rovers

Solihull Moors/Blackpool v Arsenal

Tranmere/Southport v Tottenham Hotspur

Wrexham/Newport v Leicester City

West Ham United v Birmingham City

Woking v Watford

Wolves v Liverpool

      You'd want more than bench cover if you're replacing Mendy. Almost anyone basically. Alderwiereld they say will play this week as he got rested stupidly against the Arse.

      It's fine if there's a decent bench to cover. Look at them as a long term investment, one that will be a lot more expensive very soon.

    What about this for a semi left field Captaincy Pick.......Over the last four home matches which takes into account some tough home fixtures for West Ham, Felipe Anderson has only two less shots on target than Kane, 3 more big chances, 35% better conversion rate against a Cardiff side who have shipped 72 shots in the last four away matches second only to Burnley shipping 10 goals along the way.
