Fulham get a home draw in the Third Round of the F.A. Cup against League One (old
Div 3) strugglers Bristol Rovers.
The last time the two teams met at Craven Cottage was back in November 1998 when
Fulham, starting their journey to the Premiership, won 1-0 in a League One clash.
As far as the F.A. Cup is concerned the two sides last met in Round One in 1981
when Rovers sent The Cottagers back to London 2-1 losers.
Other fixtures include holders Chelsea being handed a home tie against QPR and 2006 winners Liverpool travelling to Luton or Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal travel to Burnley while there are two other all-Premier League meetings
with Tottenham hosting Reading and West Ham facing Manchester City.
Non-League Havant & Waterlooville, conquerors of Notts County, could face another
amateur side after being paired with Horsham or Swansea.
