One of the greatest weekends on the football calendar is upon us as the third round of the FA Cup takes centre-stage.
This is the part of the competition that all of the Premier League and Championship sides join the remaining League One, Two and non-league teams in the world's most famous cup competition.

And as soon as the third round is over, all of the remaining teams will be thinking about who they are facing next.
Crystal Palace will still hope to be involved after what looks to be a potential banana skin against National League North side Macclesfield FC.
But the Eagles are the holders, and they will want to make it much further.
The likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are also in action this weekend as are non-league sides Weston-super-Mare and Boreham Wood.
