FA Cup qualifications are starting today with match Sudbury vs Colchester United and more matches are scheduled for next three days.
In first round there are 48 lower league clubs from EFL League One and League Two, that makes it very unpredictable and interesting for betting.
Starting from third round we have introduction of Premier League and EFL Championship teams.
I noticed some clubs in this round that once played in Premier league like Bolton Wanderers who even won FA Cup several times, or Sunderland and Portsmouth.

Yeah, Sunderland, Portsmouth or Burnley played in EPL not that long time ago, but now these clubs aren't living their best times. For example, Burnely had problems with money few years ago, until they were aquired by new owners.
For me it's quite interesting to see small clubs competing this tournament, especially when non-League clubs in their little stadium meet EPL team. There is one team in second round from 7th tier division.
In 3rd round EPL and Championship clubs will join competition.

The FA Cup is the second most prestigious cup in England after the Premier League title. The last champions here are Leicester. Their final match was against Chelsea and they managed to win the match by 1-0 thanks to the Tielemans' goal. And there is another interesting statistics that Arsenal won this cup 4 times in the last 8 seasons. They are very experienced in this tournament as a result. But they were eliminated in the 1/16-finals last season. I wonder if they will show their power in this season again.

Portsmouth managed to win and get into next round but Bolton played 2:2 so the match with Stockport will be replayed with 11 more matches scheduled for November 16.
Totally unexpected for me was that Sunderland is out of the FA Cup after being defeated from Mansfield.

Altrincham - Gateshead
Bristol Rovers - Oxford Utd
Cambridge Utd - Northampton
Cheltenham - Gillingham
Exeter - Bradford City
Notts Co - Rochdale
Oldham - Ipswich
Plymouth - Sheffield Wed
Solihull Moors - Wigan
Stevenage - MK Dons
Wycombe - Hartlepool
Stockport - Bolton

This is a very important cup for even the biggest teams of the Premier League. It is much more valuable than the EFL Cup and the rest of the other cups in England. We are still in the early phase of the tournament now as the big teams don't have any match yet if I'm not wrong. After some rounds, the FA Cup will be much more delightful. I expect to see a Premier League team winning it again. It is really hard for other teams to make it but not impossible of course.

Yeah,the FA Cup is an Arsenal thing,they are the most experienced in this cup,winning it more than any other team in the premier league.
And considering their recent rise to glory, I think Mikel Arteta won't want to play with that trophy this season,Atleast even if he doesn't get to top four,he should Atleast win something to make the fans happy at last

They are currently standing fifth on the table,and will be facing Liverpool in their next game,which will stand to be a big test for the two teams.

FA Cup is the oldest tournament in the world and the most know CUP in England. All league from premier league to bottom league play this torunament that why it everybody goes full power into this. In some other countries club go with reserve squads but here it is completly diffrent.

[herurist]

indirectly this is a song that competes between all castes.
no matter the high caste like the EPL or the lowest caste compete here.
but this is very exciting because surprises will always happen here, for example when Oldham Athletic (third tier team) who managed to beat Liverpool with a score of 2-3 in 2013 and Chelsea lost against Bradford City (third tier club) with a score of 2- 4 in the 2015 season.

Kidderminster have had some great games recently 5-0 against Spennymore, 4-1 against Bradford Park Avenue and 1-0 Grimsby Town, Soo this is going to be another interesting home match at Aggborough.

Division 3 clubs always surprise in every match and if I'm not mistaken in qualifying they are still quite strong so far by beating Sporting Khalsa, ware and bedfonts.
on the other hand in the first match they also managed to overthrow Grimsby Town with a thin score. Even though their opponents are still in the lower divisions, they are quite good and they can make new surprises at least by fighting EPL clubs which in fact have a higher caste can be a motivation and pride for them.

Most of the matches in this round of FA cup finished, four of them had to be decided in extra time, and we have only one more match for tomorrow Stockport vs Bolton.
Teams going in next round are Bristol Rovers, Gateshead, Cambridge Utd, Cheltenham, Exeter, Rochdale, Ipswich, Plymouth, Wigan, Stevenage and Hartlepool.
There was some surprises and that is what makes FA Cup so unpredictable and interesting to watch.

And what a game it was. Such kind of games is one of reason why I like to watch lower division teams playing in cups. Bolton where already leading 3:1 in 1st half, but Stockport made comeback, made score 3:3 and game went to Extra time. And in extra time Stockport scored 2 more goals and won the game.
And big fans pitch invasion when game didn't even finished
We have another non-league club in 2nd round.

We have another non-league club in 2nd round.

Yeah it was crazy match and I didn't expect to see so many goals and overtime after Bolton scored their goals, but they are out of FA cup.
It was amazing to see that KTChampions predicted so much correct results and won first prize in Sportsbet competition.
He would probably be a millionaire if he placed a bet on all those nine matches, he even correctyl predicted draw in regular time for Stockport vs Bolton.

Next round is scheduled from December 3 - 6, but Exeter vs Bradford City rematch is played on November 30.
Follow this thread and join in next competition with your predictions.

But they were eliminated in the 1/16-finals last season. I wonder if they will show their power in this season again.

but this year it is very difficult for Lecerter City to get the FA Cup, because of Lecester's inconsistent performance in the EPL league, Breden Rodger can't bring Lecester to do much this year, Brenden Rodger's team's appearance didn't go well, in EPL they were just defeated by aston villa, but in the world of football anything can happen..

When talking about the FA cup, of course, arsenal is the team that has won the most, so far arsenal has won 14 trophies and 7 times as runners up, I think Arteta will also prioritize the trophy this season, because the FA cup is the only trophy that may still be realistic for them to get this season, so inevitably the FA cup will be a trophy of consolation for arsenal fans if they fail to win the league cup at the end of the season.

Second round of FA Cup is almost over. Last game between Boreham and St Albans City is now in action and replay of Barrow - Ipsvich Town will be played next week. Lowest ranked team in next round will be Kidderminster Harriers from 6th division. There is also 3 teams from 5th tier.

Interesting draw for FA Cup and we finally have Premier League and CHmapionship clubs joining the show and run for the trophy.
Nottingham Forest v Arsenal and Swansea City v Southampton will be interesting to watch, but I think that Tottenham had luck to play against Morecambe.
Matches will start in one month so there is enough time to make preparations.
