Hello and welcome along to football.london's live coverage of the draw for the first round of the 2020/21 Emirates FA Cup.
After battling their way through first few qualifying rounds, the non-league sides that remain in the competition will now be eagerly awaiting to discover their opponents for the first round proper, with clubs from League One and League Two poised to enter the competition.
Last season, which saw the competition put on hold for several months due to the coronavirus pandemic, Arsenal laid their hands on the FA Cup for the 14th time in their history, defeating Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace.
But with a further two rounds to go until the giants from the Premier League and Championship enter the competition, all eyes will be on the non-league clubs to see if they can secure a tie against one of the biggest clubs from Leagues One and Two, such as the likes of Charlton Athletic, Bolton Wanderers, Ipswich Town, Portsmouth and Sunderland.
A total of 33 non-league clubs will be in the hat, including Bishop's Stortford and St Albans City, who take on each other this evening after the draw is made.
Stay with us for all the very latest ahead of the draw, the draw itself and the analysis afterwards.
