Non-league Chesterfield drawn to play Chelsea in FA Cup
LONDON (AP) — One of the five nonleague teams in the draw for the third round of the FA Cup has been handed one of the most exciting matches possible — a trip to European champion Chelsea.
Chesterfield, which leads the fifth-tier National League, got the reward of a trip to Stamford Bridge after beating fourth-tier Salford City in the second round.
Chelsea reached the final last season only to lose to Leicester, which launches its defense of the title with a home match against Watford.
That is one of three all-English Premier League matchups, with Manchester UnitedAston Villa and West
Ham-Leeds being the others. Premier League leader Manchester City was drawn away to fourth-tier Swindon, and Liverpool will host thirdtier Shrewsbury.
The third round takes place from Jan. 7-10.
