The Third Round ties of this year’s FA Cup take place over this weekend and, as always, the draw has produced a number of scintillating fixtures.

The draw produced four all-Premier League matches with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City travelling to West Ham, Champions Leicester taking on Everton, David Moyes’ Sunderland facing Burnley and the bottom two going head-to-head at the KC Stadium.

In the other notable fixtures, holders Manchester United face Reading, Premier League leaders Chelsea face Peterborough United and Stourbridge, the lowest-ranked team left in this season’s competition, will go up against Wycombe Wanderers after beating Northampton Town in their re-arranged second round tie.

In true spirit of the magic of the cup, there are bound to be some potential shock victories, with the most recent giant killings coming after Oxford United defeated Swansea last year and Bradford City came back from two goals down to beat Chelsea in 2015. With Round Three about to get underway, here are five fixtures that Shoot! think could potentially cause an FA Cup upset this weekend.
