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

      Double up on Pool though would be my advice or Balbuena if you have no other Wham

              Tough one. I went Kane. Usually plays well this time year and Spurs long term fixtures are just amazing. 4/6 at home, whereas Auba 4/6 away. Ideally get both

            My team is:

            Patricio (McCarthy)
            Robertson*, Laporte, Alonso, Duffy (Wan Bissaka)
            Dilva, Salah, Richarlison, Fraser (Gudmundsson)
            Arnie, Aguero* (Jiminez)

            With Robertson now flagged and two free transfers, should I do Aguero and Robbo to Kane and Alexander-Arnold for free? Thinking of wildcarding next week, because I really can't focus on wildcarding today with the deadline tomorrow.

              The reason i say that is Robertson/ Laporte/ Alonso/ Aguero/ might not start. Robertson/ Aguero/ injured. Laporte/ Alonso rotated imo.

            Is Kane (- 4) really going to outscore Aubameyang to justify taking the hit, considering Kane doesnt really score more than a goal this season

                    Thanks. Interesting. I suppose Rico is a threat, but Daniels has kept him out so far.

                      I am not sure what is going on with Rico, played 90 mins in GW 4 and 5, 45 mins GW 6 and nothing since in the Prem. But yeah he is still an option for Eddie Howe in this busy period, but Daniels seems his preferred option.
