FA Cup third round draw in full as Liverpool learns opponents for Arne Slot bow
Liverpool will face Accrington Stanley in the third round of the FA Cup, as new head coach Arne Slot prepares to compete in the world's oldest soccer competition for the first time.
The two teams couldn't be much further apart in the Football League, as Liverpool sits top of the Premier League while Accrington Stanley is 19th in League Two. Liverpool has only ever faced Accrington Stanley once in the past, when they met in the third round of the FA Cup during the 1955-56 season.
Liverpool won that contest 2-0, but Manchester City went on to lift the trophy that season. The third round will be played over the Jan. 11-12 weekend, with some Premier League giants already being drawn to face one another.
Arsenal will host Manchester United in the third round, while Aston Villa will host West Ham United. Tottenham Hotspur has drawn one of only two non-league teams remaining, as they'll travel to Tamworth of the National League.

The other non-league team, Dagenham and Redbridge, will face Championship club Millwall on the road. It wasn't the dream draw for former Manchester United star and current Salford City majority owner Gary Neville, as they were drawn to face Man City at the Etihad Stadium.
