Luton Town are ball number 25 in tonight's FA Cup first round proper draw.

With all League One and Two sides coming into the competition, Town will be hoping to avoid a similar tie at this stage last season, as they headed to Exeter City, winning 3-1 and then Accrington in the second round, where they went out with a 2-1 defeat.

Some interesting opponents that Hatters could pit their wits against are Solihull Moors, numbered 50, who are now managed by former boss Richard Money, while ex-Luton chief John Still’s Dagenham & Redbridge side are 64.
