The Four Standout FA Cup Third Round Fixtures

The FA Cup third round draw was held on Monday night, with 64 clubs learning their fate. The matches are due to take place over the weekend of January 10-13.

Premier League and Championship teams entered the competition, with holders Manchester United set to visit Arsenal in the standout tie.

Meanwhile, last season’s finalists, Manchester City, will welcome Class of 92’ owned Salford City to the Etihad Stadium.

This round is synonymous with giant-killings and the teams from the lower divisions will give everything they’ve got to put their names in the history books. Here at SeatPick, we’ve identified four of the best FA Cup third round matches this year.

Liverpool vs Accrington Stanley

League Two side Accrington Stanley will be hoping to cause an unlikely upset when they visit the Premier League leaders at Anfield. For some, this match will evoke memories of a famous 1980s Milk Marketing Board television advert in which a young Liverpool fan mocked Accrington Stanley.

For this third round clash, Reds supporters can buy Liverpool FA Cup tickets for their clash against Accrington Stanley starting from £119* on our platform.

Arsenal vs Manchester United

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will go toe-to-toe with Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United in a mouthwatering FA Cup tie. They’re the two most successful clubs in the history of the competition – and fans can expect a fiercely competitive match, even if some first-team players are rested.

Manchester City vs Salford City

Owned by six former Manchester United teammates, Salford City won’t have to travel far for their first ever FA Cup third round tie. The League Two side will face Manchester City in the most high-profile match in their history.

Gary Neville is unlikely to receive a warm welcome from the home supporters. On SeatPick, it’s easy to secure Manchester City FA Cup tickets. You can currently browse Manchester City vs Salford City listings starting from a price point of £49*.

Tamworth vs Tottenham Hotspur

Non-league Tamworth are the lowest ranked team in the FA Cup and they’ll be welcoming Tottenham Hotspur to The Lamb Ground in Staffordshire. Their stadium holds less than 5,000 fans, so the ticket supply certainly won’t be able to meet demand, among both home and away supporters.
