Conference National outfit Kettering are dreaming of a trip to Manchester United after yesterday's FA Cup third round draw.

Standing in the way of the minnows travelling to Old Trafford is a second round replay with Leeds United.

Holders Chelsea were handed a home tie with Watford, the two teams having met in the fifth round of the competition last year - a 3-1 win for the Blues.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted he did not know a whole lot about Malky Mackay's side.

"I know Watford, not in this moment but from the past," the Italian said.

"I remember Elton John used to be their owner and he is my favourite singer! I hope the match will be an opportunity to meet Elton John!"

The draw also threw up three all-Premier League clashes: West Ham United v Arsenal; Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic v Hull City.

The ties will be played on the weekend of January 2nd/3rd.
