Hello and welcome to Mirror Football's live blog for the FA Cup's first-round draw.

The qualifying rounds of domestic football's most prestigious competition kicked-off at the turn of September, with non-league clubs vying for their shot at glory. Fourth-round qualifying comes to an end on Tuesday evening, with 20 teams still looking to stamp their place in the first-round proper.

Tadley Calleva take on Aldershot Town, Alvechurch are up against Spalding United, Anstey Nomads play host to Macclesfield and Forest Green are pitted off against Chesham United. Gloucester City, meanwhile, welcome Barrow as United of Manchester take on Altrincham.

Make sure you don't miss sport's biggest stories and breaking news by making the Daily Mirror one of your Google preferred sources.

Cray vs Bedford Town, Worcester City vs Chorley, Harrogate Town vs Bury, Stafford Rangers vs Gateshead and Yeovil Town vs Leatherhead wrap up the fourth-round qualifying phase. However, each of those teams will learn their next respective opponents 24 hours before their fates are decided, with the first-round proper draw landing at around 6pm on Monday evening.

League One and League Two sides will also learn their first opponents for the FA Cup, given EFL clubs start to join the competition in the very first round. Championship and Premier League teams, meanwhile, still have a little wait to enter the hustle and bustle of England's oldest football cup competition, given they do not join the rest of the group until the third-round proper.
