The draw will also be streamed on the Emirates FA Cup social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).

The third round proper will take place across the weekend of Saturday, January 7, with winning clubs collecting £105,000 from the competition prize fund.

The Seasiders will be aiming to avoid losing at the first hurdle as they did last season with a 2-1 defeat to League Two side Hartlepool United.

While Blackpool’s priority is certainly on maintaining their Championship status, a run in the FA Cup could also help build some momentum ahead of the second half of the season.
