Manchester United, Manchester City and the rest of the Premier League will learn their first opponents of this season's edition of the tournament. Last year, United fell at the fifth round stage to Fulham, while Pep Guardiola's men finished runners-up after losing to Crystal Palace in the final.

Non-league sides Macclesfield, Boreham Wood and Weston-super-Mare booked their place in the draw over the weekend. Brackley Town could join them if they beat League One side Burton Albion after the draw.
