Birmingham City versus Plymouth Argyle
For the second season in a row, Plymouth Argyle find themselves travelling to Championship opposition in the third round of the FA Cup - as they prepare to face Birmingham City at St Andrews.
The Pilgrims defeated Huddersfield Town at this stage of the competition in the 2020-21 campaign, and they will be looking to add the Blues to a list of their cup scalps which includes Sheffield Wednesday and Rochdale. Since their second round victory over Dale, Argyle have changed managers as assistant boss Steven Schumacher replaced the Preston North End bound Ryan Lowe last month, and Schumacher now embarks on his first FA Cup tie as a manager. Schumacher has also recently added Bristol Rovers coach Mark Hughes to his backroom staff, which follows the arrival of former England Under-19 coach Keith Downing.
In addition to this, it might also be the first glimpse for many of the 'Green Army' to see January transfer window signing Alfie Lewis, a former West Ham United Under-23 midfielder who arrives at Home Park from League of Ireland side St Patrick's Athletic.
Referee Rebecca Welsh will also become the first female official to take charge of an FA Cup tie.
Yeovil Town versus AFC Bournemouth
In the wake of two successive defeats to Torquay United over the festive period, Yeovil Town return to the FA Cup action - aiming to add another chapter to their proud record in the competition.
The Glovers' victory over League Two side Stevenage was their 21st victory over Football League opposition - and a 22nd over the Championship leading Cherries would rank alongside their greatest cup results.
Remarkably the two sides last faced each other in the 2013-14 season in Yeovil's one and only campaign in the Championship. They also won promotion from League One in the previous 2012-13 season - Bournemouth as runners-up and the Glovers as Play-off winners.
Yeovil 's former Cherries pair Joe Quigley and Matt Worthington are also set to face their former club.
