Reading FC have been drawn to play against Watford in the FA Cup third-round.
The Royals will host the fellow Championship side on the weekend of Friday, January 6 to Monday, January 9.
The Hornets are currently fourth in the Championship with 33 points after 21 matches after nine wins, six draws and six losses.
Watford started the season under manager Rob Edwards who joined from Forest Green Rovers, but he only lasted 10 matches before he was sacked and replaced by Slaven Bilic.
The teams have already met once in the league this season and it was Watford who collected three points at Vicarage Road after Joao Pedro’s double.
Watford’s last win away at Reading came in 2014 with a 1-0 victory in the Championship.
The Royals went out of the FA Cup in the third round last campaign when they suffered a humiliating defeat to non-league side Kidderminster Harriers.
After George Puscas had given Reading the lead, the non league side deservedly progressed after strikes from Sam Austin and Amari Morgan-Smith.
The result heaped pressure on manager Veljko Paunovic who was sacked less than a month after the FA Cup exit.
