Reading are to find out their FA Cup Third Round opponents on Monday.

Taking place at Anfield from 7pm, it rounds off a weekend of action after the Second Round has taken place.

Number 32 for the draw, it is not regionalised and the Royals can draw anyone left in, as well as the remainder of the Championship and Premier League outfits.

Looking to put last year's exit at the hands of non-league Kidderminster Harriers behind them, the matches are due to take place across the weekend of Saturday, January 7.

The furthest the club have ever reached is the last four, losing to Arsenal at Wembley in 2015 and to Cardiff City at Molinuex in 1927- both times the opponent went on to win the trophy.

As a player, Royals boss Paul Ince won the prestigious tournament twice, in 1990 and 1994 with Manchester United.

Near-neighbours Oxford United remain in the competition, facing Exeter City in the Second Round, while Swindon Town are out.

Bracknell Town, who reached the First Round for the first time in over 20 years, lost to previous winners Ipswich Town earlier in the month.
