Third round matches will be played on the weekend of January 5, with Monday's draw due to be conducted by former England international Paul Ince and Dutch legend Ruud Gullit on BBC Two.

At the start of the season the FA doubled the prize fund for the competition, meaning winning clubs can look forward to a £135,500 payout if they progress.

The all important number for Sheffield United fans to look out for is 34.

Chris Wilder's men will be eagerly watching the draw, with last season's winners Chelsea (ball 12), finalists Manchester United (ball 24) and 13-time winners Arsenal (ball 2) ones to keep an eye on.
