THE FA Cup 3rd round is back and the big guns are in the tournament.
But what happens if matches are drawn? Will there be a replay to decides who gets to the semis?
FA Cup 3rd round ties will go to replays this season, as is the tradition in the FA Cup.
Should replays finish in a draw, then extra time and penalties will be played – in contrast to the League Cup which goes to penalties straight away.
Until 2000, every round of the FA Cup – including finals – had replays.
That year, replays were scrapped for the FA Cup final and semi-final but kept for all other rounds.
The last FA Cup final replay took place in 1993 with Arsenal beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 after a 1-1 draw in the initial match.
And the Gunners were also involved in the last ever semi-final, ending up on the losing side as ten-man Man Utd won 2-1 thanks to a famous extra time strike from Ryan Giggs.
This year, the FA Cup will only have replays until the fourth round.
Quarter-final replays were scrapped in 2016-17 with fifth round replays following last season to ensure Premier League players are fully rested for their European ties.
