The FA Cup third round draw has taken place, and sees just two all-Premier League ties, as Liverpool face a trip to Wolves while Bournemouth face Brighton. 

Elsewhere, Manchester United host Reading, while Chelsea welcome Nottingham Forest and Manchester City host Rotherham. 

Last season's draw was headlined by a Merseyside Derby, which saw Liverpool run out 2-1 winners thanks to a Virgil van Dijk header.
