<\/p>\n
Arsenal will host Liverpool in a blockbuster third-round FA Cup tie next month.<\/p>\n
The Premier League giants are meeting for the first time in the competition since Arsenal won a fifth-round tie 2-1 in 2014.<\/p>\n
The Gunners have come out on top in their last three FA Cup clashes, with Liverpool\u2019s last victory back in the final of 2001.<\/p>\n
The other standout tie of the draw saw Championship side Sunderland paired with neighbours Newcastle, who will travel to the Stadium of Light over the weekend of January 6 and 7.<\/p>\n
It will be a first meeting between the North East giants since they were both in the Premier League in 2015\/16, while they have not played each other in the FA Cup since 1956.<\/p>\n
There were several other all Premier League ties, with Tottenham hosting Burnley, Everton travelling to Crystal Palace and Brentford facing Wolves.<\/p>\n
Reigning champions Manchester City were handed a home tie against Championship strugglers Huddersfield while Manchester United will make the short trip to former champions Wigan.<\/p>\n
Maidstone would no doubt have hoped for a plum tie following their second-round win over Barrow but were handed a home date with Stevenage or Port Vale.<\/p>\n
Non-league Ramsgate will host Ipswich if they can get past AFC Wimbledon while a trip to The Hawthorns to face West Brom awaits the winners of Aldershot and Stockport.<\/p>\n
