LONDON (AP) — One of the five non-league teams in the draw for the third round of the FA Cup has been handed one of the most exciting matches possible — a trip to European champion Chelsea.

Chelsea reached the final last season only to lose to Leicester, which launches its defense of the title with a home match against Watford.
