Fixtures will be played across the weekend of Jan. 6 to Jan. 9, 2017.

Non-league sides Barrow and Sutton United will continue their campaigns against Rochdale and AFC Wimbledon, respectively.

Meanwhile, seventh-tier Stourbridge, the lowest-ranked side left in the draw, will face Wycombe Wanderers if they can see off League One's Northampton Town in the second round following an initial postponement.

Per Squawka, Old Trafford will see the return of former United centre-back Jaap Stam in the third round, as the Dutchman now manages Reading:

City's clash with West Ham is arguably the highlight all-Premier League draw of the round and will be a tough challenge for Guardiola as he takes charge of his first FA Cup match.

However, other top-flight pairings include Hull City hosting fellow strugglers Swansea City and Premier League champions Leicester City travelling to Goodison Park to face Everton.

Former FA Cup winners Steven Gerrard and Ian Wright analysed the draw on BT Sport Football:

Tottenham Hotspur are one of the Premier League sides who will be wary of an upset when they play host to Aston Villa, who have looked much better of late under manager Steve Bruce.
