Liverpool to host Everton – Complete FA Cup 3rd round draw
Liverpool will host Merseyside neighbours Everton in the FA Cup third round – one of a handful of local derbies thrown up in Monday’s draw.
Jurgen Klopp’s men host Everton in their first Premier League clash of the season on Sunday and will now meet again over the weekend of January 5-8.
It will be the first FA Cup derby between the sides since Liverpool prevailed 2-1 in a 2012 semi-final – the Reds going on to lose to Chelsea in the final by the same margin.
Brighton & Hove Albion are at home to Crystal Palace having played out a goalless Premier League draw against their bitter rivals last week, while Middlesbrough welcome Sunderland in an all north-east affair.
Holders Arsenal will begin their bid for a 14th FA Cup away to Nottingham Forest, with last season’s beaten finalists Chelsea also travelling to face Championship opposition in the form of Norwich City.
