LONDON -
The Red Devils, 13-time winners of the competition, visit the Gunners in the English Premier League on Dec 4, a little over a month before their FA Cup fixture.
The third-round matches, in which Premier League and second-tier clubs enter the competition, will be held from Jan 11 to 12.
Aston Villa, with seven FA Cup titles to their name, will welcome West Ham United in the only other all-Premier League clash.
Last season's losing finalists Manchester City host fourth-tier neighbours Salford City, while Premier League leaders Liverpool welcome Accrington Stanley.
Chelsea are at home to another League Two side, Morecambe.
Salford are co-owned by United's "Class of 92" players Gary Neville, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt.

Hundreds of old drafts of writing, including many of her efforts to draw Chinese poetry at a monumental scale, have been recycled into these rocks over the years, most recently as she worked on her commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which debuted on Nov 21.
