ARSENAL fans will head to the south coast for the next stage of the club's defence of the FA Cup after the Gunners were drawn away to Championship club Brighton and Hove Albion. Coincidentally, it is the first time Arsenal have been handed an away tie in the competition since a 3-2 win against the Seagulls in Brighton in January 2013. Last year, the Gunners won the trophy without leaving London after playing a series of home matches and then winning the semi-final and final at Wembley.

Arsenal qualified for round four with a 2-0 home win against Hull City on Sunday night, while Brighton overcame in-form Brentford.

Spurs drew their third round tie at Burnley last night in a 1-1 stalemate. If they win their replay, Tottenham will earn a home tie against Premiership strugglers Leicester City.
