A quick roundup of the FA Cup 3rd round draw.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been drawn together, making it the second cup clash between them, with a Carling Cup quarter final on the 19th coming up.
That is the most high-profile 3rd round clash, with Manchester United vs Aston Villa the other big draw.
In other all-Premiership clashes, Portsmouth host Wigan (should be a win for Portsmouth) and Everton host Blackburn (should be a fascinating game).
Chelsea get an easy home tie against Macclesfield, in which Paul Ince may consider playing to help his side out. Tottenham have a potentially tricky fixture away to Cardiff, while Newcastle will be away to Birmingham City.
