What are the ball numbers for the FA Cup First Round Proper draw?

The Emirates FA Cup is about to enter one of its most exciting stages – the First Round Proper, when clubs from League One and League Two join the non-league sides who have battled through the Fourth Round Qualifying round this weekend.

For the non-league sides still standing, it’s a golden opportunity to land a Football League scalp – and perhaps spark a fairytale cup run.

However, for the EFL sides entering at this stage, it’s all about avoiding potential banana skins and getting the job done.

A total of 80 clubs will be in the hat on Monday evening, featuring teams from every level of the English football pyramid – from former Premier League sides like Luton Town and Blackpool to Step 3 Farnham Town and Step 4 Flackwell Heath, both just one tie away from their biggest-ever Cup weekend.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the draw.
