The draw for the second round of the FA Cup has set up intriguing matchups, with 2021 winners Leicester City drawn against non-league side Dover Athletic. This matchup highlights the potential for upsets as non-league teams continue to make their mark in the tournament.
Leicester City, a club with a rich history in the FA Cup, will look to assert their dominance against Dover, who have already proven their mettle by advancing through the first round. The draw also includes other notable fixtures such as Bradford City facing Wimborne Town, who recently knocked out Crawley Town, a team three leagues above them.
