Manchester United are set to meet Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup once again.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side have been drawn against Martin O'Neill's side at the third-round stage for the fourth time in the past seven seasons.

United, beaten finalists last season, have won each of the three previous meetings in 2002, 2004 and 2007.

Villa will be hoping that home advantage will allow them to turn the tables on their rivals this time round.

Cup holders Chelsea have been handed a home tie against QPR while 2006 winners Liverpool will travel to Luton or Nottingham Forest.

Arsenal travel to Burnley while in all-Premier League meetings Tottenham host Reading and West Ham face Manchester City.

Non-league Havant & Waterlooville, conquerors of Notts County, could face another amateur side after being paired with Horsham or Swansea.

All games will take place on January 5th or 6th.
