After an extra preliminary round, preliminary round and four qualifying rounds, we have now reached the first round proper of the FA Cup and the draw is tonight.

You can watch it unfold on BBC Two from 19:00 BST, with the actual draw at 19:10 BST, or you can follow the live commentary by clicking right here.

There's even a Liverpool v Manchester United link as David James, who played for the Merseysiders, and Paul Ince, who had a spell at Old Trafford, draw out the numbers.

Liverpool have already gone to Arsenal and Chelsea and won this season, and drawn at Tottenham too. If they can get a positive result tonight, then Reds supporters will really start to believe they have a chance of winning the title.

Not many people thought that at the start of the season, but if you win these big games - like Tottenham did against Manchester City before the international break - then they start to take notice.

Liverpool's home form will be a factor in that too, and that has already shown signs of improvement.

Last season they got some great results on the road under Klopp but struggled when teams came to Anfield and put men behind the ball.

That has not been the case this time around - they have scored nine goals in two games at home so far.

Will Wayne Rooney get back in the Manchester United team tonight?

There's a lot going on here. Monkees lyrics, charcoal sketching. Wonderful stuff. 

Manchester United lack "identity" under new manager Jose Mourinho, making Liverpool favourites tonight, says Old Trafford legend Paul Scholes.

United, seventh in the table, go to Anfield three points behind Liverpool.

Scholes says there is still "confusion" over Mourinho's best side, whereas Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has "stamped his way of playing football" on his team.

"If you were betting, you would be betting on Liverpool," he said.

A brief history of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United that has run for more than 120 years, from the opening of the Ship Canal, through the Merseybeat & Madchester music scenes and on to two of the game's most influential managers.

It is two cities who aren't exactly the best of friends. Liverpool are playing really well and Jose Mourinho is trying to mould a team together that is capable of winning titles. Maybe Liverpool go into it as slight favourites given the momentum they have and the goals they have in their team. I am quite hopeful United can produce a performance and a result.

I think if Manchester United try to park the bus against Liverpool they will come a cropper. Liverpool are just too good going forward. United aren't exactly watertight at the back either. For me United have to go for it. When you go into games like this a lot of it goes out the window, it's all about bragging rights, pride, one-to-one battles. It's important that doesn't spill over, though.

Andrew Farrington: I can't believe Dalglish made into the XI over Cantona!!!

How will Jose Mourinho set up his side at Anfield tonight? Mourinho has often been the master of the away game in these big meetings - his sides have a habit of grinding out a result.

We all remember when a Mourinho side went to Anfield, sat back, allowed Liverpool 26 shots and somehow managed to win 2-0. Steven Gerrard slipped over of course...  

But this Liverpool side can blow you away if you're not careful.

Just ask Arsenal or Chelsea...

Manchester United had three points more at this stage last season under Louis van Gaal (16) than they currently have after seven games of 2016-17 (13).

Some massive moments here to look back on.

That John Arne Riise free-kick still takes some topping...

We asked, you picked.
