BBC’s cameras headed to the Anfield home of holders Liverpool to pull out the ties tonight for one of the most beloved dates in English football.
Clubs from the Premier League and Championship join the competition at this stage as the heavyweights meet the minnows.
And this year’s FA Cup third round draw has the potential for even more giantkillings.
