The FA Cup second round takes place this weekend with 40 League 1, League 2 and non-League clubs one win away from the third round, when Premier League and Championship clubs enter.
There are 20 fixtures over two days, including Alvechurch – the lowest ranked club on the left – at League One Forest Green Rovers.
King’s Lynn Town, Ebbsfleet United, Chippenham Town and Buxton will also be looking to cause upsets against Football League opponents.
BBC One is showing two games live on Saturday, including King’s Lynn Town’s home game with League Two Stevenage (12.45 GMT) followed by Alvechurch’s seventh tier game at Forest Green (15.00).
Ipswich Town, second in League One, are the highest ranked team in the competition at this stage. They host National League North Buxton at Portman Road.
Second-round winning teams receive £67,000 and a place in the third-round draw, when holders Liverpool enter. The third round will take place on the weekend of January 7-8, 2023.
This season’s FA Cup final will take place at Wembley on June 3, 2023.
Eleven of the 40 teams in the second round are out of the league. Alvechurch, 20th in the Southern League Premier Division Central, won at League One Cheltenham in the first round.
At least one non-league side will be in the third round draw as National League hosts Wrexham Farnborough, National League South, in front of S4C live cameras on Saturday (3.15pm).
The third round draw takes place on Monday and is shown live on BBC Two from 7:00 p.m.
Five ties to watch
King’s Lynn Town v Stevenage – Saturday, 12.45 GMT, live on BBC One
King’s Lynn Town, second in the National League North, are in the second round for the second time in three seasons.
In 2020, the non-League club have been hammered 6-1 at Portsmouth at this stage, but Norfolk are very confident they can cause an upset on BBC One’s live cameras.
King’s Lynn claimed a big first-round scalp with a deserved 1-0 win in Ligue 2 Doncasterafter substitute Gold Omotayo headed in the winner with seven minutes remaining.
King’s Lynn is managed by Tommy Widdrington, who made 72 Premier League appearances for Southampton between 1992 and 1996, as the midfielder Christian Oxlade Chamberlain is the brother of Alex from Liverpool.
Stevenage, led by Steve Evans, are second in League Two having won 12 of their 19 games.
They won 3-2 at National League Gateshead in the first round and are looking to reach the third round for the second time in three seasons.
Forest Green Rovers v Alvechurch – Saturday (3.00pm) live on BBC One
Will non-League Worcestershire side Alvechurch join Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in the third round draw?
This is the Church’s sixth game in the competition after overcoming Mickleover, Harborough Town, Nuneaton Borough and Worksop Town in qualifying before winning at League One Cheltenham in the first round.
“Hopefully we can pull off another shock,” Church boss Ian Long said.
“We’ve probably lost that element of surprise now and I don’t think Forest Green will underestimate us.”
Forest Green were Ligue 2 champions last season but struggled in the third tier.
They are bottom of Ligue 1, six points from safety, having lost 11 of their 19 games. The Gloucestershire club have not reached the third round since 2009-10.
Ebbsfleet United v Fleetwood Town – Sunday (12.30pm) live on ITV
Excitement grows in Kent as sixth tier Ebbsfleet United are upset trying to knock out opponents Fleetwood Town three leagues higher.
The Fleet is having a good season. They top the National League South and have won four matches to reach this stage of the competition.
Ebbsfleet defeated the National League Halifax 2-1 in the first round, with former Fulham youngster Toby Edser and ex-Mansfield Town striker Rakish Bingham on target.
Fleetwood are 17th in League One having won just four of their 19 games in the Third Division. They avoided a surprise in the first round after defeat non-league Oxford City 3-1.
Will the Lancashire side avoid being at the end of an FA Cup upset this time?
Burton Albion – Chippenham Town – Sunday (2:00 p.m.)
Wiltshire’s non-Championship side Chippenham caused a huge shock in the first round by knocking out League One Lincoln City.
Former Cheltenham Town midfielder Joe Hanks scored the only goal of the match to send the Bluebirds to the second round for the first time.
Now the National League South side are eyeing another League One scalp in the form of Burton Albion, who are having a poor season.
The Brewers are 22nd in the table and have conceded nine times in their last three Ligue 1 games.
“This cup race isn’t just good for Chippenham Town – it’s good for Chippenham Town itself,” said Bluebirds president Neil Blackmore.
Ipswich Town – Buxton – Sunday (5.00pm)
National League North Buxton face a daunting tie at League One Ipswich, the highest ranked team at this stage.
Bucks assistant manager Tommy Miller played for Ipswich in the Premier League, while boss Jamie Vermiglio managed Chorley in the FA Cup fourth round in 2020-21.
“If we get off to a good start, it’s 11-11 and you’re still thinking ‘what if?'” Vermiglio said.
“That’s what the guys will be asking themselves on this occasion. Anything can happen.”
Ipswich, winners in 1977-78, are second in League One under Kieran McKenna, who worked with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
