When is FA Cup third round draw? Time, TV channel, ball numbers as Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal enter

The FA Cup third round draw will take place on Monday evening, with 64 clubs preparing to find out who they will be playing next in the next round of fixtures. All 20 Premier League teams and the 24 Championship sides will enter the tournament in the next round, joining the remaining 20 clubs who win their second round ties. Manchester United are the holders after they beat rivals Manchester City in last season's final and new boss Ruben Amorim will be hoping to lead them towards retaining the trophy.

Seventh-tier sides Gainsborough Trinity, Harborough Town and Kettering Town all put up brave fights in the second round before elimination, but non-league outfits Dagenham & Redbridge and Tamworth have earned spots in the draw and will hope to face a big name.
