Clubs from the English Football League will enter the Emirates FA Cup next month after the draw was made for the first round on Monday evening.
And with teams from both League One and Two of the EFL joining those non-League clubs who have reached the competition proper, it has thrown up some interesting ties.
Hyde United, in round one for first time in 23 years, will entertain League One MK Dons.
Meanwhile, Heybridge Swifts who, like Hyde United, are in the eighth tier of the English league pyramid, will travel to Paul Tisdale’s Exeter City.
Wigan Athletic, Cup winners in 2013 and, as leaders of League One, the highest-ranked side in the first round draw, will host Crawley Town.
And six-time Cup winners Blackburn Rovers were drawn at home to Barnet.
The first round will take place over the weekend of 3-6 November 2017, with winning clubs receiving £18,000 from The FA’s prize fund.
The draw was conducted by former FA Cup winners Dean Saunders and Kelly Smith.
