Chelsea will begin their defence of the FA Cup as they take on Championship side Watford in the third round.
Arsenal will face West Ham United at Upton Park in one of only three all-Premier League ties, Aston Villa will be at home against Blackburn Rovers and Hull City make the trip to Wigan to face the Latics.
The draw has served plenty of lower-league clubs the opportunity to gain some top-tier scalps as Manchester United will entertain one of non-league Kettering or League One side Leeds United at Old Trafford, while Liverpool, who beat Everton in Sunday's Merseyside derby, will face Reading at the Madejski stadium.
Sunderland are certain to face Blue Square Premier opposition as they play Oxford United or Barrow at the Stadium of Light.
Tottenham Hotspur, Bolton Wanderers, Fulham, Portsmouth, Stoke City and Everton have all been handed home draws, with Burnley, Manchester City, Wolves and Birmingham City all having to travel.
