The FA Cup first round proper has arrived with a host of teams below the Premier League and Championship battling it out for a place in the second round.
Of course, at this stage of the competition, the margin between some of the teams is incredibly wide. League One Ipswich will face Bracknell Town of the Southern League Premier South.
Seventh-tier Alvechurch – the lowest team left in the competition – take on League One Cheltenham in the first round, while Coalville Town and Needham Market are also among the minnows hoping for a shot at the big boys in the next round.
