Liverpool have not gone further than the fourth round of the FA Cup since Jurgen Klopp became manager and the 7-1 joint-second favourites have been handed a tough draw in the third round of this year's competition with a trip to Wolves.

The Molineux men scored a stunning success over the Reds as a Sky Bet Championship side two years away with a 2-1 fourth-round win at Anfield.

Manchester City are the 4-1 favourites and their fans will not be losing any sleep over a home tie with Rotherham, but Tottenham and Arsenal both face uncomfortable road trips to lowly opposition. Spurs will go to either National League North side Southport or League Two Tranmere, while the Gunners travel to National League team Solihull Moors or Blackpool.

Danny Cowley's Lincoln have had a fantastic time in recent FA Cups, and they get the chance to slay another giant when they go to Goodison Park to face Everton. Holders Chelsea take on Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.
