SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY have been handed a mouth-watering FA Cup tie at home to Newcastle United - in the pick of the fixtures for Yorkshire's eight sides in the third-round draw.

Two other Premier League clubs will also call in at White Rose venues early in the new year with Fulham visiting Hull City – heralding a return for former Tigers boss Marco Silva – and Brighton heading to Middlesbrough.

Meanwhile, Leeds United have been handed a tricky trip to the Principality to face Cardiff City, who famously knocked the Elland Road outfit out of the competition at the same stage in 2002 when they were a third-tier club.

The Owls last faced Newcastle in the FA Cup in 1980-81, when they lost 2-1 in a third-round tie and last beat the Magpies in the competition in 1965-66 - in a season when the Hillsborough outfit reached the final.

Third-round ties will take place across the weekend of Saturday, January 7, with winning clubs collecting £105,000 from the competition prize fund.
