Arsenal: Mikel Arteta reacts to winning the Emirates FA Cup
The second round of the FA Cup has been taking place this weekend with League One, League Two and non-league clubs looking to book showdowns with Championship and Premier League outfits in the third round of the competition.
There are a handful of lower-league clubs dreaming of glamour ties in the next stage, with Canvey Island the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, playing in the eighth tier, and in action on Monday night.
Chorley - bottom of the sixth-tier National League North - are through to the third round after beating the highest-ranked team in the hat in Peterborough United, winning 2-1 on Saturday.
FA Cup games this season are split across BBC and BT Sport, meaning plenty of matches will be shown on free-to-air TV.
The third round proper is not until the weekend of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 January 2021, when non-league clubs could be back in regular league action following the recent nationwide lockdown.
The 32 clubs who progress to the next round are looking to pick up £82,000 in winnings but they will most be looking forward to the draw and finding out whether or not they face a big team.
So when is the draw? Express Sport is on hand with all the details, including how you can follow it live.
