FA CUP Third round - who will your team face?

FA CupBristol City and Bristol Rovers have both been drawn at home in the FA Cup third round, which takes place from January 8-11 in the New Year.

Dean Holden's Championship City are set to host League One promotion hopefuls Portsmouth while Paul Tisdale's Rovers - who romped to a 6-0 second round win over National League North Darlington at the Memorial Stadium - are sure to face a sterner test from Premiership strugglers Sheffield United. 

Sheffield Wednesday - managed by former Plymouth Argyle bosses Tony Pulis and assistant David Kemp - travel to Matt Taylor's League Two high flyers Exeter City, who upset League One Gillingham 3-2 away in round two. 

Wednesday are second bottom in the Championship.

Second placed Championship side Bournemouth visit Oldham, 17th in League Two, while Swansea City - fourth in the Championship - visit Stevenage, 21st in League Two.

Cardiff City, 14th, visit Nottingham Forest, 21st, in an all-Championship tie while Michael Flynn's League Two table-topping Newport County host Premiership Brighton & Hove Albion.

Flynn's County have a superb, giant-killing Cup record in recent seasons and will relish hosting Graham Potter's Seagulls at Rodney Parade in early January.

The first team drawn by Robbie Savage, mid-table Championship Huddersfield Town, will host Ryan Lowe's League One Plymouth Argyle, the second team out of the bowl. 

The last two teams drawn? Michael Duff's Cheltenham Town - second in League Two - host Nigel Clough's Mansfield Town, 22nd.
