Following the excitement of the FA Cup third round weekend, the upcoming fourth round proper matches will determine which lower-league teams will have the opportunity to face a Premier League powerhouse.
The number of balls in the hat will be 32 as the highly regarded English football tournament progresses, with the journey to Wembley becoming more intense.
Last June, Manchester City became the champions by defeating Manchester United in a significant derby final at Wembley. They were likely hoping to avoid a potential upset by Huddersfield Town in the third round.
