Home draws for United and Owls

Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday have both been drawn at home to Championship sides in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Blades will take on QPR while the Owls entertain Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace.

Doncaster are on their travels to Brentford, while Barnsley take the short trip to Scunthorpe.

Southampton host the winner of the Rotherham v Luton replay.

Elsehwere, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is hoping his team's FA Cup third-round draw against Watford will afford him the chance to meet one of his heroes.

The Blues won the cup last year, under the guidance of interim coach Guus Hiddink, and his successor Ancelotti will begin his attempt to match that feat with a home clash against the Hornets.

Ancelotti has said in the past that he is a big fan of English music, and he is hoping the match at Stamford Bridge early next year will allow him to meet former Watford chairman Sir Elton John, his favourite singer.

In another all-London tie, West Ham will face Arsenal in one of three all-Premier League fixtures.

The other two top-flight affairs see Aston Villa host Blackburn and Hull travel to Wigan.

The 2008/09 runners-up Everton, meanwhile, welcome Coca-Cola League One side Carlisle to Goodison Park.

The Toffees' Merseyside rivals, seven-time winners Liverpool, were drawn against Championship strugglers Reading.

Kettering player-manager Lee Harper vowed that he and his team-mates would give it their "best shot" after they were offered a potential third-round tie with Manchester United.

The Blue Square Premier side must knock out League One leaders Leeds first, after the two teams drew 1-1 at Rockingham Road.
