FA Cup action is just around the corner for Premier League clubs, with the first two rounds of the competition already completed. These are the confirmed ball numbers that you needed to look out for during the FA Cup third round draw.

Sixty-four teams will find out their fate in the third round draw of the FA Cup on Monday night.

For the first time this season, Championship and Premier League clubs join the FA Cup draw.

They will be drawn against the lower league and non-league sides that made it through the initial qualifying rounds, as well as rounds one and two.

There are several lower league teams still left in the FA Cup, including Yeovil Town and Hartlepool United.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea go into the competition as favourites to lift the trophy.

But it’s Leicester City that are the FA Cup holders, after beating Chelsea 1-0 in last season’s final.

Youri Tielemans scored the only goal of the game in the 63rd minute of the clash.

The Belgian slammed a 25-yard thunderbolt into the top corner, beyond the diving Kepa Arrizabalaga.
