Despite a reputation for entertaining football – and lots of goals at either end – Peterborough United have predictably been overlooked for live TV coverage when the first round FA Cup ties take place early in November.

The top-scoring team in the top four divisions of English football are at League Two side Newport County in the first round and the Welsh club might fancy toppling a side who also have the worst defensive record in League One.

Just as predictably the games involving Wrexham (at Harrogate) and Birmingham City (at Sutton United) have been selected as have potential giant-killing games at Northampton Town, Chesham and Tamworth.
