Perhaps the tie of the third round, tactically at least, was Liverpool beating Arsenal away after taking a battering in the first half…

Here’s how they did it – courtesy of FFT’s Adam Clery.

Both are in the hat tonight.

Happy with that draw?

That concludes our live blog – and some great ties to look forward to.

A tough game for Maidstone, with the sixth-tier giant killers heading to high-flying Ipswich in the Championship. That may be nothing compared to Eastleigh, should they get through, however: they may be hosting Manchester United.

Tottenham against Manchester City may well be the tie of the round and the holders have reason to fear Spurs: Guardiola doesn’t have the best record against the north Londoners. 

Which game are you looking forward to most?
