Welcome!<\/b><\/p>\n

Premier League and Championship clubs enter the FA Cup for the first time this season as the country\u2019s biggest sides learn their third round fate alongside the second round winners and those yet to play their tie.<\/p>\n

64 balls will be drawn, including current champions Manchester City who will find out who they will begin their trophy defence against. While the competition's most successful club Arsenal will also be one of the clubs looking to go far, last winning the cup in 2020.<\/p>\n

National League South club Maidstone United will be in the draw, while Chesterfield, Yeovil Town, Aldershot Town, Eastleigh and lowest ranked side left in the cup Ramsgate, must get through their second round ties against Football League opponents before their name can be confirmed in third round.<\/p>\n

The draw will take place around 1pm on Sunday, December 3, before Eastleigh host Reading in the second round at 1.30pm.<\/p>\n
