FA CUP THIRD ROUND DRAW: Peterborough United handed trip to Premier League Burnley
The draw was staged at the Etihad Stadium, the home of the holders Manchester City, following their emphatic 6-0 win over Watford in the final in May.
Former Arsenal skipper Tony Adams pulled out out the away numbers, and ex-City and Aston Villa full-back Micah Richards the home ones, and it was broadcast live on BBC Two.

United haven't played Burnley since the 2012/13 Championship season.
The match at London Road ended in a 2-2 draw, with the Turf Moor encounter seeing Posh thumped 5-2.
Indeed, Peterborough have taken a couple of heavy beatings at Burnley over the years, and you have to go back to October, 1989 for the most recent Posh win there - a 2-1 victory in the old division four.
The two clubs have never met in the FA Cup.

The ties will be played over the course of the first weekend of January, which means Posh's Sky Bet League One home clash with Wycombe Wanderers, due to be played on January 4, will have to be rescheduled.
