FA Cup draw: Wolves, West Brom, Walsall and Aston Villa learn cup fate
Wolves will host League Two Shrewsbury Town in the third round of the FA Cup.
Rob Edwards' side enter the competition for the first time this season and welcome nearby neighbours Salop to Molineux.
The two sides last faced off in February 2019 when Wolves won 3-2 in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Molineux, in a replay following a 2-2 draw.
Shrewsbury came from behind to win at National League side Sutton United in extra-time at the weekend, thanks to goals from Ismeal Kabia and John Marquis, to book their place in the next round.
It was a dramatic match of late goals and three red cards, including Salop midfielder Josh Ruffels, and Michael Appleton's side will now travel to take on Premier League Wolves.
West Brom have been given an away tie at fellow Championship side Swansea, who they recently came from behind to beat 3-2 in a league game, while Walsall are racking up the miles with another long away trip to Norwich City.
The Saddlers had trips to Eastleigh and Gateshead in the first two rounds and now travel east in the third round.
They beat National League side Gateshead in the last round thanks to goals from Daniel Kanu and Aden Flint.
Meanwhile, it will be an all Premier League clash for Villa who are away at Spurs.
Third round ties will be played around the weekend of Saturday, January 10, 2026.
