FA Cup third-round draw: Manchester United face West Ham
Manchester United will play West Ham United at Upton Park in one of four all-Premier League clashes in the third round of the FA Cup.
Southampton welcome holders Chelsea, QPR host West Brom and Arsenal visit Swansea in the other top-flight ties.
Manchester City will play Watford, while Tottenham entertain Coventry in a repeat of the 1987 final.
Non-league Hastings will play Middlesbrough, while Mansfield will welcome Liverpool.
The ties will take place between 5-7 January 2013.
Manchester United thumped the Hammers 6-0 in their last FA Cup meeting back in January 2003, but the Londoners enjoyed the better of it when the two teams were reunited in the League Cup quarter-finals in November 2010, winning 4-0 at Upton Park.
More recent memories surround Arsenal's meeting with Swansea, with the Welsh side beating the Gunners 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Brighton will host out-of-form Newcastle at the Amex Stadium while Bolton are at home to Sunderland and Blackpool travel to Fulham.
The draw, conducted by former Tottenham defender Ledley King and ex-Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba, also threw up a set of intriguing meetings between Championship sides.
Leeds, winners of the tournament in 1972, will play Birmingham while Burnley face the trip to Barnsley.
Elsewhere Bristol City travel to Blackburn and Charlton take on Huddersfield.

Yep, that's precisely what i'm telling you. Those boys should all support a local Northern Irish side. Fine if they don't, but then they are definitely glory hunters.
I'll tell you something else. The real scousers and the real mancs (the people actually from those Cities) hate loathe and dispise the glory-huting day-trippers who steal their seats!

Well you learn something new everyday apparently.....
United got critised for not spending during 2007 to 2009, the most successful we have been in a long time was during that period, fergie knew not to change anything. now we're spending as usual again, if you look at the situation its clear we had the money to spend but just didnt need to... until now.

Err, no, I didn't know anything about how Americans buy and sell businesses. Could be because I'm just a simple English football fan, and not an employee of the New York Stock Exchange.

If you know anything about how americans buy and sell businesses you'd see theres nothing at ALL different from this buy than 98% of comanys bought by americans, they are worth a fortune so the bank lend them money to buy united, they allow the club to "pay for its self" when its done they own one of the biggest football clubs in the world and didnt need to spend there own cash. Genius
