Nottingham Forest and Notts County have discovered their opponents for the third round of the FA cup.

Forest will be away to former FA cup winners Wigan Athletic, a side they already beat this season in a 4-3 thriller at the City Ground in August.

Notts County could face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge provided they win in their replay match against Peterborough.

The Magpies came back from 2-0 down to draw the game in stoppage time through Louis Liang.

A replay fixture has yet to be confirmed by the clubs.

County were knocked out of the first round by Salford City last year and will be hoping to be the team causing the upset this year.

Nottingham Forest have won the FA Cup twice in 1898 and 1959, and Notts County won the competition in 1894.

All 32 third round ties will take place between January 6 and 9 in the new year.
