Reading have been drawn against Championship side Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup.

The stage at which the Premier League and Championship teams enter, all eyes were on Old Trafford for the draw at 7pm.

Beating Fleetwood Town in round one, the Royals needed extra time to squeeze past non-league Harborough Town on Sunday in round two to set up a tie with Scott Parker's Clarets.

Taking place over the weekend of January 10, the scheduled League One clash with Wrexham will be rescheduled for a later date.

Reaching the semi-final in 2015 and making quarter-finals in 2010, 2011 and 2016, the club have a rich history in the prestigious competition but remain one of the oldest clubs yet to lift the famous trophy.

On route to the final eight in 2011, the Royals beat Burnley and winger Jimmy Kebe scored the fastest FA Cup goal.

Burnley midfielder Josh Laurent could make his first return to the SCL Stadium since leaving in 2022.
