Cup draw pits Manchester rivals together

Today saw the eagerly awaited draw for the third round of the FA Cup (sponsored by Budweiser) and yet again there are some mouth watering clashes including the reigning Unofficial Champions Manchester City playing host to their city rivals Manchester United.
It'll give Alex Ferguson's men the chance to avenge their 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford in October and will also give Roberto Mancini's men the chance to announce themselves as the team to fear this season.
In the only other all Premier League tie form side Newcastle United will host Steve Kean's (correct at the time of typing) Blackburn Rovers.
Two non-league sides have been handed dream ties with Tamworth heading to Goodison Park and should Chelmsford City beat Macclesfield Town in their replay they will have the honour of hosting Bolton Wanderers.
Other ties to look out for will be Arsenal hosting Leeds United and also the London derby between Fulham and Charlton Athletic. (also my side West Ham United have to travel to Sheffield Wednesday)
