Man United to face Liverpool in FA Third Round

Manchester United will face bitter rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford in the third round of the FA Cup.
It is the only all-Premier League tie in a draw that also sees Leeds travel to Arsenal, holders Chelsea face Ipswich and Stevenage play Newcastle.
Sven-Goran Eriksson's Leicester host his former club Manchester City, while non-league York and Dover will play away to Bolton and Huddersfield.
The ties will be played over the weekend of January 8-9, 2011.
The stand-out tie at Old Trafford will be the ninth post-war meeting between Manchester United and Liverpool in the competition, with the Red Devils victorious in seven of the previous eight.
However, the last time they met, in a fifth-round tie in 2006, seven-time Cup winners Liverpool recorded their first FA Cup win over United in 85 years courtesy of a single Peter Crouch goal.
