FA Cup draw LIVE as non-league clubs learn first-round ties and EFL teams enter

The qualifying rounds are done and dusted... it's time for the real stuff to begin! The first round of the FA Cup is nearly upon us, with a number of non-league sides getting the chance to play against EFL clubs. Teams from League One and League Two will enter the competition at this point, throwing up the possibility of some glamour ties that could be season-defining for the smaller clubs involved. Rushden and Diamonds, Berkhamsted, Plymouth Parkway, Sholing, Wimborne Town and Guiseley are among the non-league sides to have reached the first round proper. Any one of those teams could be drawn against EFL opposition, a pool that includes former Premier League champions Leicester City. Clubs from the top two tiers of English football won't enter the FA Cup until the third round in January, but there is still plenty of drama to come before then.
