FA Cup third-round draw: Tottenham vs Aston Villa as holders Crystal Palace visit non-league Macclesfield

FA Cup holders Crystal Palace have been handed a trip to sixth-tier Macclesfield in the third round of this year's competition, while Tottenham will take on Aston Villa.

Villa's trip to Tottenham is one of four all-Premier League ties, with Everton facing Sunderland, Newcastle taking on Bournemouth and Brighton travelling to Manchester United.

Record 14-time winners Arsenal head to Portsmouth while Chelsea travel across London to take on Charlton Athletic at The Valley.

Liverpool will play Barnsley at Anfield, while last season's runners-up, Manchester City, are at home to League One Exeter City.

Nottingham Forest are away to Championship side Wrexham, Brentford will travel to financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday, while there will also be a Brian Clough derby as Derby County take on Leeds United.

There was no dream Premier League tie for the lowest ranked team, Weston-super-Mare. They will visit Grimsby Town, while Boreham Wood will face either fellow non-league outfit Brackley Town or Burton Albion.

Third round: Saturday January 10 2026

Fourth round: Saturday February 14 2026

Fifth round: Saturday March 7 2026

Quarter-finals: Saturday April 4 2026

Semi-finals: Saturday April 25 2026
