    AFC Fylde versus Arsenal? It could happen - and that's the beauty of the FA Cup third-round draw.

    The Gunners, winners of the FA Cup last season, enter at this stage along with the rest of the Premier League clubs and sides from the Championship.

    In total, 64 teams will contest 32 ties in early January and what those ties look like will be determined in around 30 minutes.
