Manchester United could renew their rivalry with Leeds
United in the third round of the FA Cup after the two teams were
drawn together on Sunday afternoon.
If Leeds defeat Kettering in a replay then they will make the
trip to Old Trafford and take on their rivals from across the
Pennines for the first time since February 2004.
In three all-Premier League ties, Arsenal will travel to West
Ham, Aston Villa host Blackburn and Wigan take on Hull City.
Kettering player-manager Lee Harper vowed that he and his
team-mates would give it their "best shot'' after they were offered
a potential FA Cup third round tie with Manchester United.
Blue Square Premier side Kettering must knock out Coca-Cola
League One leaders Leeds first, after the two teams drew 1-1 at
Rockingham Road on Sunday.
"It will be really hard but we will give it our best shot,''
said Harper. "The club is in a bit of trouble at the moment, it is
difficult for us financially but we will go to Elland Road, try to
have a great time and see where it gets us.''
West Ham will host London rivals Arsenal in the third round of
the FA Cup in one of three all Premier League fixtures.
Gianfranco Zola's side host the Gunners, who last lifted the
trophy in 2005 and have not picked up any silverware since.
The other two top-flight affairs see Aston Villa host Blackburn
and Hull travel to Wigan.
