The FA Cup third round draw takes place on Monday. Here is all you need to know ahead of the draw, including the ball numbers and how to watch.
One of the most anticipated dates on the calendar for most clubs outside of the top flight, the third round sees Premier League and Championship clubs enter the draw.
For teams lower down the pyramid, qualifying for this stage gives them a chance of drawing a plum tie at Old Trafford, Anfield or others, allowing for much-needed club revenue and a day that fans will never forget.
