FA Cup third round draw 2014/15: Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal learn their fate
7:38: Well, that's your lot. It's the closest we will ever get to a replay of the 1988 FA Cup final as Liverpool travel to AFC Wimbledon in a compelling third round draw. And should Accrington Stanley fend off the challenge of Yeovil Town in a second round replay they will play host to Manchester United. And with that, we leave you on this note...
7:32: Holders Arsenal will host Hull City in a repeat of the 2014 final in what was the first fixture out of the hat while non-league Dover Athletic have their wish of Premier League opposition and will host Crystal Palace. Liverpool travel to League Two's AFC Wimbledon while Chelsea host Championship side Watford. Manchester United meanwhile face a trip to either League Two side Accrington Stanley or Yeovil Town, depending on which of the two comes out on top in their upcoming second round replay.
