Full draw! as Chelsea FA Cup third round draw confirmed

The draw for the third round of the FA Cup has been done, and Chelsea will face non-league side Chesterfield.

However, Chelsea were beaten to the FA Cup trophy last season by Leicester City, and the current holders will kick off the defence of their crown with a tie against fellow Premier League side Watford, while Manchester United will host Aston Villa and Arsenal travel to Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be pleased with this draw as it would afford him the opportunity to rest key players and hand valuable minutes to fringe players.
