QPR v Leeds

Best bet:

Queens Park Rangers will face Leeds United in the FA Cup for the first time since February 1987, with the Whites running out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Ian Baird and Brendan Ormsby.
Leeds United won 3-1 on their last visit to Loftus Road thanks to a Kemar Roofe second half hat-trick in a Championship match in December 2017.
QPR have lost each of their last five FA Cup third round matches, last reaching round four during the 2012-13 campaign.
Away from home, Leeds United have lost three of their last four FA Cup third round encounters, last beating Cambridge United at this stage back in January 2017.

Best bet:

Manchester City have been drawn against Rotherham for just the second time in the FA Cup, beating them in a third round replay in 1978-79 the other time.
The last time Manchester City faced Rotherham came in the second tier of English football back in March 2002 – a 1-1 draw.
Manchester City have won just three of their last seven FA Cup games against sides from a lower division (D1 L3) with two of those defeats coming against Wigan.
Rotherham have lost each of their last five FA Cup games, conceding two or more goals in each of those matches (14 in total) – their last victory in the competition came in round one of the 2013/14 season, beating Bradford 3-0.

This will be the first competitive meeting between Woking and Watford.
Woking are playing in the FA Cup third round for the first time since the 1996-97 campaign – they’ve only progressed to round four once before (1990-91).
Woking have never won in four previous FA Cup matches against top-flight opposition, losing against Bolton in 1907-08, Everton in 1990-91 and Coventry in a replay in 1996-97.
This is Watford’s first FA Cup match against non-league opponents since December 1996 (5-0 vs Ashford Town). They’ve won 18 of their last 19 such ties in the competition, losing only against Northwich Victoria in 1976-77.
