Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool will face off in arguably the biggest fixture of the third round of the FA Cup after the draw on Sunday evening, reports Prime Business Africa.

Arsenal are the most successful side in the English FA Cup with 14 titles to their credit but they will meet heavyweights Liverpool while Crystal Palace versus Everton is the only other all-Premier League fixture after the draw procedure at the ITV headquarters in London.

Elsewhere, Sunderland will face Newcastle in a Tyne-Wear derby at the Stadium of Light and holders Manchester City will entertain Huddersfield Town.

Manchester United will visit 2013  FA Cup winners Wigan Athletic and Tottenham will host Burnley.

The third round will be played between 5 and 8 January.

Isthmian League South East Division side Ramsgate, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, will host Championship high-flyers Ipswich if they can beat AFC Wimbledon in their second-round tie on Monday.

Maidstone, of the National League South, can look forward to a home tie against either Stevenage or Port Vale.
