“FA Cup Holders Chelsea will host Watford on Sunday, 3rd January. This match-up is among those in the round with the closest distance between grounds. It’s about 25 kilometers, or 16 miles, between Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge and Watford’s Vicarage Road. The closest distanced clubs that are matched up in the FA Cup Third Round are Arsenal and West Ham United. Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and West Ham’s Boleyn Ground (aka Upton Park) are 15 kilometers (9 miles) apart. West Ham hosts Arsenal on Sunday. In 1980, West Ham won their third and most recent FA Cup title over Arsenal 3-0, with a 13th minute goal by Trevor Brooking. It was the last time a club from outside the top flight won the FA Cup. On the FA site, you can see a look back at that final and a preview of the match this weekend {click here, and go to ‘Hammers waiting for…’ which is halfway down and center in the videos section}.” (billsportsmaps)
