FA Cup 3rd round ball numbers confirmed as Premier League sides learn opponents
Premier League sides will learn their FA Cup third-round opponents on Monday evening as sides from England's top tier and the Championship enter the competition.

Kidderminster Harriers, of the National League North, are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, and they will be No.59.
Kidderminster will be joined by Yeovil Town, Chesterfield, and one of Boreham Wood and St Albans City as the National League representatives.

Defending champions Leicester City will start their title defence as No.22, while beaten finalists Chelsea will be No.13.
Arsenal will be No.2, Liverpool No.23, and Tottenham No.40.
One of the biggest shocks of the weekend saw Harrogate Town, who have only been in the Football League for two seasons, dumped out 2008 winners Portsmouth: Harrogate will be No.64.
