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

    given that Robbo isn't paying, is TAA, Gomez or VVD worth -4hit?

              That's only 1 game though. It's where your bench comes in. You can't just take a hit everytime someone may miss a single game. Well you can, but still.

                I respect that Epic, but been looking at my defenders this week and got Alonso, Periera, Doherty and Bennett if Robbo doesn't play. So I suppose it is a question of 'Is TAA better than Doherty for -4hit. Just answered my own question with your help I think- NO

      I understand your situation but think its a risk playing with rather than WC now. I'd rather use the WC before the weekend matches. AWB & Doh should cover you for Robbo & Mane and you'll have Kamara as insurance for one of Haz or Sterling.

    I accept that there is fixture congestion over Christmas.

    But apart from Spurs, City and Liverpool (who have big CL games or EFL cup games or both) - how do the rest currently have fixture congestion?

    Chelsea and Arsenal will play the reserves in the EL so they will get a week off next week. Utd are already through in the CL so will rest players.

    All the other PL clubs have no European football or at most one EFL cup game. Surely then can manage three games in a week with a week off after?

    Best option for a 4.3 or under defender. I'll need him to play this week and occasionally in the coming weeks up to mid-Jan at least.
