FA Cup Second Round Draw: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United & Manchester City Await
The draw for the FA Cup second round has been made, and now elite Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are one round away, meaning many minnow teams can get the opportunity to play in the game of a lifetime. Warrington Town are the lowest-ranked team, and they'll be hoping to beat Gateshead, and then they will hope to bag a third round tie against an EPL giant.
Warrington boss Shaun Reid insisted: "Gateshead are doing very well in the Conference [currently third]. It will be a difficult tie, but it's the FA Cup and it's 11 v 11. We won't go there with fear. The FA Cup seems to bring the best out of my players. I've got plenty of people in football who can help us scout - I'll call in a few favours. They'll find it more difficult to find out about us - I change my team a lot."
