West duo are drawn at home

FOREST Green Rovers and Bristol City have both been drawn at home to Sky Bet Championship opponents in the third round of the FA Cup.

City have an Anglo-Welsh clash against Swansea, who they drew 1-1 with in the corresponding League fixture last month, while the Green Devils will play host to Birmingham City.

Forest Green quartet Corey O’Keeffe, Dom Bernard, David Davis and Reece Brown are all Birmingham old boys.

Elsewhere in the draw, the tie of the round looks to be Manchester City against Chelsea, while there are also all-Premier League ties between Brentford and West Ham, Liverpool and Wolves, Crystal Palace and Southampton, and Manchester United and Everton.

Another interesting tie is Oxford versus Arsenal.
