The FA Cup first round proper draw has thrown up a derby clash between AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons as all 48 League One and League Two sides discovered their opponents.
Wimbledon won the most recent clash between the two sides 3-0, but a place in the second round will add extra needle to an already-tense tie.
Teams earn £45,000 for winning first-round matches, while losers still bag £15,000, which can be hugely impactful money for non-league sides.
Birmingham, the highest-ranked club currently in the competition at the top of League One, visit Sutton United – the Blues spent more on transfers this summer than Sutton have in their history.
Meanwhile Wrexham, who sit two points behind the leaders in second, are faced with a visit to League Two outfit Harrogate Town.
All games will take place between Friday 1 and Monday 4 November and Premier League and Championship teams don’t enter the competition until the third round.

Northern Premier League West side Hednesford Town are the lowest-ranked team left in the draw, but they will have to beat Gateshead in a replay if they are to make the first round proper.
They have been drawn against either Northern Premier League Premier Division side Gainsborough Trinity or National League Boston United, meaning this will become one of three all non-league clashes.
One of Tonbridge Angels of the National League South facing Southern League Premier Division Central side Harborough Town are also guaranteed a spot in the second round.
The same goes for Altrincham or Solihull Moors, who will face last year’s giant killers Maidstone.
