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

      No but Mané doubtful tomorrow so Mané to Sané for -4 should pay off. He was taken off after 70 minutes so should start

    Appreciated feedback yesterday. Couple of changes to WC after hearing Robertson may be doubt. What do you think as below?

    A Gtg

    B Get Bellerin over VVD and have .6 m to upgrade Button to Hennessey for second playing keeper

    C Get Trippier if fit over VVD (which means Cairney would be Camarasa or McArthur)

    D Same as C but Laporte over VVD

    Fabianski
    TAA VVD Digne
    Sterling Richarlison FAnderson Sané
    Kane (c) Aubameyang Wilson

    Button AWB Cairney Doherty

    best option for two gameweeks before i WC in gw17:

    A: Salah + Balbuena + Martial (-4)...no arsenal cover in gw16
    B: Sane + F.Anderson +Martial (-4)...no arsenal cover in gw16
    C: Salah + Walcott + Jimenez...and then take the hit in gw16 to get Auba

    All options have their merits
    With A and B, i dont have to play Jimenez vs. chelsea whilst with C, i can get arsenal cover for gw16 captaincy. no other stand out options in gw16.

    FFS Trippier what are you doing? Held onto him for what seems ages for this run of fixtures.

    Hi all. Thoughts on this WC team much appreciated! Ready to shift Tripp if he's not fit. Can't lose the value on Robbo. Too heavy on City mids?

    Fab-[Hart]
    Robbo-TAA-Tripp-[Schindler-Holding]
    Sterling-Sané-Bilva-FAnderson-[Camarasa]
    Wilson-Kane-Arnie
    0.3 ITB

    Thanks!!

    Arsenal are vulnerable down the left apparently...
