At 4pm on Sunday 5 December, the big boys enter this season's FA Cup as the draw for the Third Round takes place at Soho Square.
Gary Pallister and Tony Cascarino, opponents in the 1994 FA Cup final when two Eric Cantona penalties helped Manchester United to a 4-0 win over Chelsea, will make the draw to see who will take on who when the competition resumes after Christmas.
The draw will be live on BBC1 following the Hinckley United v Brentford 2nd Round match as well as Sky Sports and BBC Radio Five Live. You'll also be able to listen live online with TheFA.com.
Ones to watch With 64 balls going into the pot, 32 ties will be selected. Cup holders Manchester United, who beat Millwall 3-0 in Cardiff last May, are number 23 in the draw, while the Lions are 25. Arsenal and Chelsea, currently fighting it out at the top of the Premiership are balls 1 and 10 respectively.
Ball number 56 will certainly see a team from outside the top six divisions mix with the country's elite. Isthmian Premier rivals Slough Town and Yeading are both vying for the place.
Across the pyramid, two Southern League sides will be aimng to make it through as Histon take on Yeovil Town for a place in the draw as number 58 and Bath City's tie with Peterborough will decide who will be ball 63. A potential money-spinning tie against a Premiership giant could be in store.
How the numbers are decided This is it - the big boys are here. The Third Round of The FA Cup sees the top two divisions of English football come in, as teams from the Premier League and Football League Championship enter the draw. Those 44 clubs are numbered first alphabetically and the remaining 20 clubs follow on in their match number order from the last round.

Don't forget to log on to TheFA.com on Saturday for all the 2nd Round results and the 3rd Round draw..
lenne egy kérésem a Sky Sporttal rendelkezőktől. szeretném felvetetni a Watford meccseit egy videokazettára. nem tudom mikor lesz, bár a Liga-kupa elődöntőt biztos adni fogja (jan 10 és 24).
szóval akinek van lehetősége, kérem vegye fel nekem, és akkor utána a többit rendezzük (kazetta ár+szállítás)
Brighton v Rotherham, 15:00
Cardiff v Gillingham, 15:00
Crewe v Ipswich, 15:00
Derby v Coventry, 15:00
Watford v Stoke, 15:00
Wolverhampton v Reading, 15:00
és csak a győztes indulhat az UEFA kupában, és ha már egy BL-t kiharcoló csapattól kap ki, akkor sem a kupadöntő vesztese indul, hanem a következő helyezett a Premier L-ben.
nincs mese tehát, meg kell nyerni.
küldd majd el a címedet, hogy küldjem a WFC anyagokat.
felhívom majd ma a sógorom, biztos kint volt a meccsen.
Nagyon jó az a kép H-ről és Lewingtonról a hivatalps oldalon.
Amúgy most már nekem mindegy kit kapunk az elődöntőben, mert szerintem nincs sok esélyünk. Viszont pénzügyileg megint jól jött ez a cup-run. Az elődöntőt közvetíti a tv, és biztos, hogy egy nagy stadionban játszunk (Stadium of Light, Villa Park, Walkers stadium,Millenium Stadium), és még azt is megtöltjük.
