FA Cup holders Manchester City have been handed a trip to Tottenham in the fourth round.
Elsewhere, sixth-tier Maidstone will head to Sky Bet Championship promotion-chasers Ipswich, while Chelsea host Premier League rivals Aston Villa.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at five ties to watch.
Tottenham v Manchester City
Holders Manchester City swept past Huddersfield 5-0 on Sunday, when Kevin De Bruyne made a return to action during the second half from a hamstring injury which had kept the Belgian out since August.
Spurs, meanwhile, had booked their place in the fourth round with a 1-0 win over Burnley on Friday night with a fine late goal from Pedro Porro.
Fans will be hoping the FA Cup tie proves as entertaining as when the two sides met in…
“Even I, who seemed to be mentally strong. After the World Cup it seemed like it all fell apart.
“I think the therapist, like it or not, saved me, saved my life. I only thought rubbish. Even on Google, I only searched for rubbish, I only wanted to see rubbish about death.
“Before I went to training, I wanted to go home, I wanted to go back to my room because, I don’t know what was going through my head. I even went and told my dad I was going to give up.
“It’s kind of sad to talk like that, you know? What I went through after the World Cup, discovering things here at home from people who had lived with me for over seven years. It is crazy.
“To go to my father, who was the guy who chased my dream with me, and say, ‘Dad, I want to give up,�…
Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Mykhailo Mudryk are among the club’s biggest buys but while Pochettino insisted in July there is “no patience” in football, Hasselbaink has called for calm.
LiveScore ambassador Hasselbaink told the PA news agency: “Look, it is a project. Chelsea is a project and it will take time.
“You need to give time. They have a lot of players, a lot of talented players but they need to gel and that takes time. It doesn’t matter how much money you throw at it.
“The only way they will learn is by playing and having that pressure. You will see some of them will make it and be able to handle it, but some, as always is the case, they won’t handle the pressure. That is the nature of the beast.
“I do think Chelsea have b…
Southgate´s picking from a lot of diamonds – Wright-Phillips confident England have firepower to com
England have the right squad composition to be a force at upcoming major tournaments, according to former Three Lions winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Gareth Southgate led his side to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018 and England are among the bookmakers favourites for glory at the rescheduled Euro 2020 taking place between June and July this year.
The England boss has plenty of selection headaches to contend with, especially among attack-minded midfielders, where the likes of Mason Mount, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and James Maddison all harbour realistic hopes of making the squad.
Ex-Manchester City and Chelsea winger Wright-Phillips, a member of England s 2010 World Cup squad, believes the strength in depth and unity among the team makes the Three Lions a f…
Sadio Mane scored his 50th Premier League goal for Liverpool in Saturday s clash with Leicester City at Anfield.
The Senegal star reached the milestone on his 100th league appearance for the club, racing onto James Milner s pass and slotting beyond Kasper Schmeichel.
Mane s average of a goal every two games for the Reds underlines his impressive form in his three years since joining from Southampton.
The goal also means Liverpool now have 10 different players to reach 50 in the Premier League, which is more than any other club can boast.
So, how does Mane compare to Liverpool stars past and present in terms of how quickly he reached his half-century? Here are the 10 in full
50 Sadio Mane has scored his 50th Premier League goal for Liverpool. He s…
Andrea Belotti dedicated Italy s 2-0 win over Poland to Roberto Mancini as the Azzurri coach continues to self-isolate after testing positive for COVID-19.
A Jorginho penalty and Domenico Berardi s late strike secured a comfortable victory for Italy on Sunday, taking them to the top of Nations League Group A1 with one match remaining.
Another win against already relegated Bosnia–Herzegovina on Wednesday will guarantee Italy a spot in next year s finals of the tournament, while a point would be enough should Poland draw with the Netherlands.
Mancini is in isolation at his home in Rome but Torino striker Belotti – who won the spot-kick from which Jorginho opened the scoring and also drew two fouls which saw Jacek Goralski receive a red card – …
Antonio Conte was the coach who started Juventus title-winning streak and as Inter boss he is determined to bring an end to the reign of the Turin giants.
However, Conte knows the will and planning on his part is not enough, and the onus falls on his team to beat direct rivals such as Napoli, who visit San Siro on Wednesday.
Seeing off such opponents could begin to tip the balance in Inter s favour, with the Nerazzurri prominent contenders to deny Juventus a 10th consecutive Serie A crown.
Inter sit second, with Napoli third, going into their midweek tussle, both keen to keep pace with early pace-setters Milan and stay ahead of fourth-placed Juve, who have yet to be beaten.
Head-to-head matches are very important for the standings and from a mental point…
It is too early to declare the Premier League a two-horse race for the title, but the blows Manchester City and Arsenal continue to trade are making for increasingly compelling viewing.
Arsenal will have to respond on Sunday after City s latest majestic showing against sorry Southampton.
Chelsea look re-energised under Graham Potter, while Eddie Howe continues to weave his magic at Newcastle United, who scored more goals than even City on Saturday.
Antonio Conte s Tottenham only needed one goal to round off the day by maintaining their impressive start to the campaign at Brighton and Hove Albion.
Before attention turns to events at Emirates Stadium, Stats Perform picks out the best data from Saturday s matches.

Liverpool suffered a fourth straight Premier League defeat as Everton ended their miserable run at Anfield with a 2-0 victory on Saturday.
In a match that Liverpool went on to dominate after a lacklustre first-half display, Richarlison s third-minute goal and Gylfi Sigurdsson s late penalty proved enough for Everton to claim a first away win over their Merseyside rivals since September 1999.
Liverpool s efforts were not helped by the loss of Jordan Henderson to injury, with Sadio Mane missing two presentable chances that might have made Everton pay for profligate finishing from Seamus Coleman and Richarlison.
The centre of derby drama in recent meetings, Jordan Pickford also played a pivotal role, making a wonderful save from Mohamed Salah, setting the stage fo…
