We may only have two teams guaranteed to be playing into January but with a number of repays to look forward to, there is plenty of National League interest.

Woking were the weekend’s big heroes winning at League Two Swindon.

Barnet are in the hat - they won the all Non-League tie with Stockport County to take their place in round three.

So here are the all important ball numbers for tonight’s draw at Stamford Bridge. With Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in the velvet bag, could one of our sides get very lucky?

FA Cup third round ball numbers:

Guiseley/Fleetwood 45

Wrexham/Newport 47

Southport/Tranmere 48

Solihull/Blackpool 51

Woking 54

Barnet 59
