One of sport’s best competitions – FA Cup continues on its way this weekend with the 2017-18 FA Cup Round 2, just one round away from the big Round 3 where all the big names in English Football join the fun.
The Non League minnows get their last chance to make it into the 3rd Round and snag a dream tie against a Manchester United that could earn them half a year’s budget and more.
Not forgetting that the 2017-18 FA Cup Round 2 only goes as high as the third tier of League One so those lower division Football League are awaiting their chance for a famous FA Cup upset in the third round.
But first they have to get there.
And before that, you have to get through our preview.
