S tem se je rdečim vragom ponudila nova priložnost za maščevanje na prejšnjem medsebojnem obračunu, ko so sinjemodri na Old Traffordu slavili s kar 6:1. To je sicer eden izmed zgolj dveh premierligaških obračunov v 3. krogu - na St. James's Parku bo pri Newcastle Unitedu gostoval Blackburn.

Zelo zanimivo bo tudi na Emiratesu, kjer bo gostoval neugodni Leeds United, ki je pred dvema letoma prav v 3. krogu tega tekmovanja na Old Traffordu z 1:0 ugnal United. Chelsea se bo pomeril s Portsmouthom, Tottenham pa se bo udaril s Cheltenhamom. Liverpool bo doma gostil Southend United ali Oldham Athletic.
