FA Cup young stars to watch: Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Nathaniel Chalobah and Josh Sims all tipped as talents to shine ahead of third-round weekend

It's FA Cup third-round weekend which inevitably means nostalgia for some and a grumble about weakened top-flight teams for others.

Manchester United and Manchester City are expected to go strong, Liverpool and Chelsea are more likely to call on their fringe elements.

Here, Sportsmail takes a look at 10 young talents who might feature this weekend.

Aged 19 and considered a serious talent at Arsenal. Has featured sporadically this season with two starts in the League Cup and a substitutes' appearance in the Premier League.
