The FA Cup begun in earnest on Monday with the draw for the first round proper made at Bradford City’s Valley Parade.

32 teams have made it this far through qualifying, and are joined in the first round by the 48 teams from League One and League Two.

Among the eye-catching ties are an encounter between fierce foes MK Dons and Wimbledon, while Harrogate Town host Wrexham having drawn twice with the Welsh club in the league last season. Four-time winners Bolton travel to Walsall.

The 40 first-round fixtures will be held on the first weekend of November as another campaign in the world’s oldest cup competition begins.

FA Cup first round draw - pick of the ties

So another meeting between MK Dons and Wimbledon, opening up old wounds. Harrogate Town will fancy their chances even against Wrexham - the Yorkshire club held Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side to two draws in the league last season.

Tonbridge Angels vs Harborough Town is an intriguing clash between two clubs for which a second round appearance would be a major success - Harborough have reached this stage for the first time, while Tonbridge fans haven’t been able to watch their side in a first-round tie since 1972. Their last appearance came in the midst of the pandemic.
