The draw for the Third Round of this years Emirates FA Cup will be made later on tonight, it will be broadcast live on the BBC One Channel and the Dons have made it into this draw after overcoming Halifax 3-1 on Saturday.
There are 64 Numbers in the "hat" for the Third Round, The 44 clubs from the Premier League and Championship enter the fray at this stage, joining the 20 clubs who prevail from this weekend's second round ties. We are at Stamford Bridge the home of the FA Cup holders Chelsea FC and the draw is live on air shortly after 7:30pm on Monday night, the program will be hosted by Mark Chapman and the balls will be drawn out by former Chelsea, AC Milan and Holland legend Ruud Gullit and Liverpool, Manchester United and England's Paul Ince.
AFC Wimbledon are ball No.57. And having made it this far a glamour tie with the potential for further funds would be very welcome especially with a new manager soon to be confirmed. I would love to get Arsenal or one of the Manchester clubs, knowing our luck we'll get Luton Town away or something but at least we are in the hat and we'll see what happens. Southport represent the lowest ranked side left in although they still have a replay against Tranmere.
The third round is scheduled to take place over the weekend of Saturday 5 January 2019.
Winning clubs will receive £135,500 after The FA doubled the prize fund at the beginning of the season.

AFC Wimbledon will again be away in the next round to fellow League One side Fleetwood Town who beat a spirited Guiseley on Monday night 1-2. Not the 'glamour' tie we had hoped for but having beaten them on the opening game of the season at their place and with a new manager in place now it's a possible step onwards to the 4th round.
Good luck to all in the 3rd round, see you in January.
