FA Cup Third Round Draw: Arsenal Faces Spurs At Home (See Full Draw List)

Premier League leader, Arsenal, will face North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the pick of next month's FA Cup third round ties after the north London duo were drawn against one another on Sunday.

Scroll down for full draw list...

Between them, the clubs have won the FA Cup 18 times, although Arsenal haven't lifted the trophy since 2005 — their last major piece of silverware — while the last of Spurs eight Cup final wins was in 1991.

So far this season, the clubs have met just once, with Arsenal enjoying a 1-0 Premier League win at the Emirates Stadium thanks to a goal from French striker Olivier Giroud.

Manchester United, the only side to have won the FA Cup more times than the London duo, is also involved in all Premier League tie at home to Swansea.

United has won the FA Cup 11 times but the last was back in 2004 and Saturday's Premier League defeat by Newcastle meant the club had lost five times in 15 matches under new manager David Moyes.

Ties will be played on the weekend of January 4-5.
