Conference North side Droylsden will get the chance to show the nation what they are capable of when they take on the winners of Dagenham & Redbridge or Leyton Orient in the FA Cup second round, live on ESPN.

Droylsden are one of the lowest ranked sides left in the competition, but it is they who can relax while they wait to find out who their next opponents will be following Orient's 1-1 draw with the Daggers. The replay will be settled at Brisbane Road, deciding which team takes on Droylsden on what promises to be a testing Monday evening on November 29.

Prior to that match, there is a real chance of an FA Cup upset as Blue Square Premier leaders Crawley Town bid to ride their current momentum against Swindon Town. Swindon are struggling in the lower half of League One, making the trip to Broadfield Stadium - which boasts a capacity of 5,000 - a daunting one for the former Premier League club.

Before those games arrive, there are some important replays to be decided, not least at Ebbsfleet United, where AFC Wimbledon must go and win if they are to set up a potentially historic meeting with MK Dons. FC United of Manchester will also be paying plenty of attention to the first-round replays, as they await the winners of Brighton v Woking.

All four games are live on ESPN. To guarantee your front-row seat for every round of the FA Cup on ESPN, subscription details can be found here.
