FA Cup third-round day is one of the most iconic days in the English football season - and tonight we'll learn who will be playing who.

Chelsea won the 2018 competition with a Eden Hazard-inspired 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Wembley.

And their Stamford Bridge home will be the setting for tonight's draw, which gets underway around 7.30pm.

Former Blues boss Ruud Gullit will be helping conduct the draw, along with England legend Paul Ince.

All 20 Premier League and 24 Championship sides enter the competition at the third-round stage, joining the 20 sides who remain following rounds one and two.

Matches will be spread over four days for TV coverage, with the third round due to be scheduled over the weekend of Saturday January 5 2019.
