Holders Palace at sixth-tier Macclesfield, Spurs host Villa in FA Cup

Dec 8 : Crystal Palace begin their defence of the FA Cup with a third-round tie at sixth-tier Macclesfield, while the standout tie in Monday's draw paired Tottenham Hotspur at home to Aston Villa.

Three other all Premier League clashes will see Everton host Sunderland, Newcastle United welcome Bournemouth and Manchester United at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Manchester City, beaten by Palace in last season's final, entertain lowly third-tier Exeter City, while Premier League leaders Arsenal go to second-tier Portsmouth.

Premier League champions Liverpool host third-tier Barnsley.

Macclesfield, a so-called phoenix club after the demise of Macclesfield Town who were liquidated in 2020, are one of two sixth-tier clubs left in the world's oldest cup competition.

They play in National League North while Weston-super-Mare, who visit Grimsby Town, are in National League South.

So-called Hollywood club Wrexham of the second-tier Championship will host top-flight Nottingham Forest, while two London derbies will see Charlton Athletic hosting Chelsea at The Valley and West Ham United welcoming Queens Park Rangers.
