Sunderland draw Stoke City in FA Cup third round - Kyril Louis-Dreyfus could pocket six-figure sum if they win

Sunderland have drawn Stoke City at the Stadium of Light in the FA Cup third-round, with ties set to be played between January 10th-13th (Friday to Monday).

The draw for the third round was made on Monday evening with Sunderland set to face Stoke City at the home in January. The Black Cats endured a miserable FA Cup exit in third-round at the hands of local rivals Newcastle United last season.

However, should Sunderland come through their FA Cup third-round tie this season, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus could be set to pocked a decent chunk of cash with winning teams in the third round to receive £115,000. Losing teams in the third-round will also receive cash.

This figure will also be boosted by ticket sales because the revenue is split between each side, with both taking 45 per cent. If Sunderland’s third-round game is picked for television coverage, a total of over £100,000 is up for grabs for each side.

Like the prizemoney on offer, facility fees for television coverage progressively increase as the FA Cup carries on.
