The draw for the second round of the FA Cup has been made, and League One leaders Stockport County will host Cambridge United on home turf. Following the weekend's first-round matches, 40 teams are advancing to the next stage. Leyton Orient managed to clinch a victory against Tamworth in the final fixture of the first round. Jack Wilshere's Luton Town emerged victorious in a seven-goal thriller against Forest Green Rovers, led by Robbie Savage, and will now face League Two's Fleetwood.
Grimsby Town, who were unable to continue their winning streak in the Carabao Cup after being knocked out by Brentford, have another shot at success in a different competition as they face National League side Wealdstone. The lowest-ranked team still in the competition, Slough Town, who sit 21st in the National League South, will host Macclesfield. Premier League and Championship teams will enter the tournament from the third round.
As a sports journalist, it's clear that this draw presents some intriguing matchups, particularly for the lower division teams eager to cause upsets and progress further in the tournament. The focus will be on how these teams handle the challenges that lie ahead.
