Chelsea will begin their FA Cup defence at home to Championship side Queens Park Rangers, following the draw for the third round of this year's competition.

Elsewhere in a fascinating draw, league leaders Arsenal will also face Championship opposition in the shape of Burnley, while Manchester United have been drawn against Premier League side Aston Villa for the fourth time in seven years.

In all, there are four all-Premier League matches. In addition to the Villa Park clash, Juande Ramos' rejuvenated Tottenham will face Reading, Sven-Goran Eriksson's Manchester City travel to West Ham while Roy Keane's Sunderland will play host to Wigan.

Under-fire bosses Gareth Southgate and Sam Allardyce face tricky away ties as Middlesbrough and Newcastle United were drawn against Championship high-flyers Bristol City and Stoke City.

But there was no big moneyspinner for non-league Havant and Waterlooville, who will play the winner of the second round replay between Swansea City and Horsham.
