MANCHESTER United face a tough trip to top-flight rivals West Ham in one of the stand-out ties of the FA Cup third round. Alex Ferguson’s side lost 1-0 at home to a Paolo Di Canio-inspired West Ham in the 2001 FA Cup, but thumped the Hammers 6-0 two years later.
Holders Chelsea also face an away match against Premier League opponents in the shape of Southampton, while Arsenal visit Swansea.
QPR, still winless in the Premier League, take on West Bromwich Albion, while Manchester City are at home to Championship side Watford.
Tottenham Hotspur face Coventry City 25 years after the Sky Blues’ victory in the 1987 final.
