FA Cup second round draw LIVE as EFL and Non-League teams discover opponents

5 hours ago 3

Hello and welcome to the Manchester Evening News' live coverage of the FA Cup second round draw, this evening.

There is one more round before Manchester United and Manchester City enter the competition, but plenty of clubs are poised to discover their opponents for next month's fixtures. United last lifted the trophy in 2024 under Erik ten Hag, defeating local rivals Manchester City 2-1 in the final.

City's most recent triumph came the year before in a reverse of the same scoreline, with Ilkay Gundogan scoring after just 12 seconds.

With that said, both Ruben Amorim and Pep Guardiola will be keeping a close eye on the early rounds for potential upsets and hoping the FA Cup ends up in their trophy cabinet before the end of the season.
