FA Cup draw details, live steam options and Leeds United's ball number as Marcelo Bielsa's men await third round fate

English football's most famous knockout competition got underway back in August and the second round proper kicks off tonight when National League side Gateshead host League One Charlton Athletic.

Tomorrow at 12.45pm Leeds midfielder Alfie McCalmont and his League One loan club Morecambe travel to Northern Premier League outfit Buxton, for whom Thorp Arch academy graduate Chris Dawson has scored twice already in the competition this season. It's the first time the Bucks have reached this stage of the FA Cup in almost 60 years and their progress puts Dawson within 90 minutes of a potential return to Elland Road.

The draw for that third round will be televised on Monday evening as part of the coverage of the final fixture of the second round, when Boreham Wood take on St Albans. It is expected that the draw will be made at 7pm and fans can watch on ITV or through the FA Cup social media channels on Twitter and Facebook.

Premier League and Championship teams all enter in the third round, helping to make up 32 ties to be played on the weekend of Saturday January 8, 2022. Leeds will be ball number 21.

In Marcelo Bielsa's tenure at Elland Road, Leeds have tasted only third round defeat. In his first season in charge they fell to a 2-1 loss at Queens Park Rangers, Aramide Oteh scoring from the spot before Aapo Halme equalised for the Whites. Jake Bidwell grabbed a 75th-minute winner, heading in from a corner with Bielsa later lamenting his team's struggles at set-pieces.

His second season saw the Championship Whites travel to Premier League Arsenal and give them a torrid time of it in the first half, before succumbing to a 1-0 defeat courtesy of a Reiss Nelson goal.

Last season Leeds travelled to League Two underdogs Crawley Town and suffered one of the upsets of the round, going down 3-0 after a bitterly disappointing display at a club 62 places beneath them. Bielsa said it was not the worst defeat of his career and insisted Leeds had taken the tie seriously, but took issue with the media reaction, which focused on the substitute appearance of reality TV figure Mark Wright for Crawley.

"As if the game didn't have enough elements to classify our performance as negative, but because it's not sufficient they got to the fact what he does and he came on the pitch," he said.

"Or the lack of seriousness we could have faced this game, all the extra things that allow the person referring to the game, adds colour to an already important matter. To make us look even more bad or stupid than we already feel."

Leeds have won the FA Cup once in their history, beating Arsenal 1-0 in 1972.
