The FA Cup
The FA Cup third round draw takes place on Monday
The FA Cup third round draw will take place on Monday evening, with 64 clubs preparing to find out who they will be playing next in the next round of fixtures.
All 20 Premier League teams and the 24 Championship sides are set to enter the tournament in the next round, joining the remaining 20 clubs who win their second round ties. Manchester United are the holders after they beat rivals Manchester City in last season's final and new boss Ruben Amorim will be hoping to retain the trophy.
The lowest-ranked teams still left in the competition are seventh-tier Gainsborough Trinity, Harborough Town and Kettering Town and they will be hoping to earn a glamour tie against one of the top teams by winning their second round matches.
With all that in mind, Mirror Football brings you everything you need to know about the FA Cup third round draw...
