Hull City manager Steve Bruce speaking on BBC Two: "I was watching Blyth Spartans beat Hartlepool on television on Friday and you could see what it meant to them. From small non-league clubs, to the big clubs, the FA Cup is a fantastic competition."

After motivating Blyth Spartans by giving them a pre-match team talk before their win at Hartlepool, ex-England striker Alan Shearer will be involved in performing the FA Cup third round draw.

"I loved it, I went into the Blyth Spartans dressing room before hand, they just wanted to get out and play football. They rode their luck a bit in the second half but did well to get through."

Ryan:, external AFC Bournemouth away to Millwall anyone? It's been a while since we drew them in a Cup. Would be two Saturdays on the bounce.

Alastair:, external As a Bradford City fan I would love Manchester United. We love been underdogs.

Joseph Turner:, external Would love to see AFC Wimbledon drawn against Man Utd at Old Trafford! Show that not only MK Dons can beat them. #mydreamdraw

Drama before the draw...

Chesterfield's place could be in jeopardy after they were charged with fielding an ineligible player in their second-round win at MK Dons.

On-loan Wolves defender Georg Margreitter played despite the Spireites having no written permission from the Championship club.

Southampton make two changes to the side that lost 1-0 at Arsenal. Maya Yoshida comes in for injured central defender Toby Alderweireld while Sadio Mane replaces Jack Cork in midfield. Dusan Tadic has also passed a late fitness test for Saints.

Southampton XI: Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Bertrand, Wanyama, S. Davis, Tadic, Mane, Long, Pelle.

Wayne Rooney returns to the Manchester United starting line-up after missing the win over Stoke with a knee injury. Paddy McNair comes in in defence with Ashley Young moving up into midfield and Ander Herrera on the bench.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, McNair, Smalling, Rojo, Valencia, Carrick, Fellaini, Young, Mata, Rooney, van Persie

Arthur Pickthorn:, external As an Ipswich fan I would love Norwich or Chelsea at home or a non-league team away. Our cup form is terrible though.

Oludwadare Isaac:, external I would like a Derby County v Chelsea draw. It would be a draw between the top Championship and Premier League teams.
