FA Cup third round draw 2015-16 as it happened

So, that's that then. To be perfectly honest, there aren't too many cracking ties there. Holders Arsenal will meet Sunderland, a fixture we were treated to just three days ago, while Manchester United host League One's Sheffield United. The biggest story is probably Exeter City of League Two hosting Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool while Salford City will host Derby County, if they can find a way past Hartlepool in their second round replay.

Third round fixtures will take place on the weekend beginning on 9 January.

Holders Arsenal are number two in tonight's draw.

About 15 minutes or so until the draw takes place, then. In case anyone cares, the BBC have just held their rehearsal draw. Bournemouth vs Arsenal and Bury vs Chelsea being the highlights. Scenes.

Last season we got a replay of the 2014 final at this stage as Arsenal were drawn against Hull City. This year there is the intriguing possibility of Manchester United being drawn against Salford City, led by their own Class of '92. The non-league side still have to bypass Hartlepool United in their second round reply, mind.

Premier League and Championship sides join the party tonight for the FA Cup third round draw. We get started at 7pm (GMT) with 32 fixtures to be drawn. National League side Eastleigh, who became the first non-league side to book their place with their win over Stourbridge are the only non-league side in tonight's draw. Whitehawk, Salford City and Grimsby are also in the hat, but they still have second round replays to contend with.
