Manchester City will host Manchester United in the standout tie in the third round of the FA Cup after the draw was made in Wembley this aftenoon.


The teams last met when City hammered United 6-1 at Old Trafford, with United set to get the chance for revenge at the Ethiad Stadium next month.


The tie was one of only two all-Premier League affairs to emerge from this afternoon's draw, with Newcastle hosting Blackburn in the other.



Arsenal will host npower Championship Leeds in a repeat of the 1972 final, while Blue Square Conference Tamworth's reward for their 2-1 second round win at Gateshead is a trip top top-flight Everton.


Chelsea boss Andre Villa-Boas' first taste of the FA Cup will come at home to Championship side Portsmouth, who beat Cardiff in the 2008 final.


Aston Villa face a trip to League Two Bristol Rovers, who earned their place in the third round with a 6-1 demolition of Southern Premier Division AFC Totton at Testwood Park this afternoon.


Harry Redknapp's Tottenham will also entertain opposition from League Two as Cheltenham head for White Hart Lane, while Liverpool will await the outcome of the second-round replay between Southend and Oldham to discover their opponents.
Craven Cottage will stage a London derby as Fulham take on League One leaders Charlton, while midlands neighbours Birmingham and Wolves will meet at St Andrew's.


Premier League newcomers Norwich have been drawn at home to Championship Burnley, while Swansea, who were promoted with the Canaries, travel to Barnsley and QPR travel to League One MK Dons.


There are away ties too for Stoke, who head for League Two Gillingham, and Bolton, who will visit either Conference South Chelmsford or League Two Macclesfield, and Martin O'Neill's first FA Cup tie in charge of Sunderland will come at Peterborough of the Championship.


West Brom entertain Championship promotion hopefuls Cardiff, while Premier League basement boys Wigan head for League Two Swindon.

We'll score when we want, We'll score when we want, we are Man City , We'll score when we want.
Nothing like an easy draw LOL as long as we can get out of EUFA quickly, I relish this , both domestic cups and the league, I don't think we will win them all, but look forward like never before.
 
In all fairness Man city look good this season, why would they not they did spend

alot of money to buy success, and i wish them well, Competition is what its all about.

Man utd lads will be well up for this game bring it on.....
 
bring it on - you can win anything you like but you wont get the title that City really crave and that is the PL Title - but what a heavyweight of a match - all eyes are yet again on Manchester - surely will be a great game - both teams will go all out for the win - definitely will be feisty.
