Former Liverpool stars John Aldridge and John Scales will pick the balls from the bag to see who lines up against who when the competition proper begins on 13th November.

The draw will be live on BBC One.

Ones to watch
The First Round is actually the seventh stage of The FA Cup.  It all started for 146 teams in the Extra Preliminary Round back on 28th August 2004 and two of those teams still remain.  In fact, Liversedge and Coalville Town are playing each other on Saturday and will ensure that one EP club will make it through to potentially meet a Football League giant.  The winner will go into the hat with the ball numbered 62.

League One's top side Luton Town, the highest placed team in the draw, will be ball 24, while MK Dons will be 27.

John Aldridge's former club Tranmere are number 44, 1990 and 1994 semi-finalists Oldham are number 30 and Sheffield Wednesday, who suffered Final defeat at the hands of Arsenal in 1993, they'll be ball 37.

How the numbers are decided
From the First Round Proper onwards the draws are national. First, the previously exempt clubs, in this case the Football League One and League Two sides, are numbered alphabetically and the remainder of clubs will follow on in their match number order from the previous round.
