THE Cherries have been drawn against West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the FA Cup.

AFC Bournemouth will host the side that currently sit seventh in the Championship at the Vitality Stadium, with the tie to be played over the weekend that includes Saturday, January 11.

Last season, the Cherries beat Queens Park Rangers away from home at this stage of the cup last season, emerging as 3-2 winners at Loftus Road.

They then smashed Swansea City 5-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the fifth round, before being dumped out of the cup by then-Championship side Leicester City.

They were beaten 1-0 after extra time by the Foxes thanks to an Abdul Fatawu winner after 105 minutes.

The Cherries’ visitors in January reached the fourth round of the cup last season, beating Aldershot Town in the third round before losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
