The FA Cup has kicked into gear with the arrival of Premier League teams, and with them the threat of giant-killings.
Holders Crystal Palace will begin the defence of their trophy with a trip to non-League club Macclesfield FC, while two London derbies will see West Ham will host QPR and Charlton Athletic welcome Chelsea to the Valley.
Arsenal head to Portsmouth as Manchester City host Exeter. Four all-Premier League ties see Tottenham host Aston Villa, Brighton head to Manchester United, Newcastle entertain Bournemouth and Sunderland travel to Everton.
Macclesfield are joined by fellow non-league outfits Weston-super-Mare and Boreham Wood. The action begins on Friday evening.
