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

                I'm very tempted to bring him in but think it's probably sensible to wait with risk of rotation. Contemplating Haz out for a hit but think I'll give him a chance v Wolves. Good luck with your GW.

          They've put up some impressive defensive stats in the last four game weeks: three goals conceded, two clean sheets, and six big chances conceded. Their upcoming fixture schedule looks good too.

    Aguero, Alonso -> Kane, TAA (double up with Robbo, no city attackers)

    Good moves? Willing to take a hit for sterling or sane but fearing they might be rested. Will also give Salah and Haz a chance to prove their worth
