Manchester City have emerged as the early favourites for the FA Cup this season.
City are ball number 24 and will find out their third round opponents at 7pm tonight along with the other 70 clubs - with some having to play tonight or face second round replays.
Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to retain the trophy and The Pools have backed them to do so at 16/5 .
Other notable mentions include Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at 6/1 and Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspurs at 8/1 .
If you fancy a cupset to go all the way then 2013 winners Wigan Athletic are 250/1 .
The draw will be presented by Arsenal legend Tony Adams and former Man City defender Micah Richards.
Both the players have won the trophy in their respective careers with Adams lifting the trophy three times and Richards once.
No doubt Adams will be wanting to give his beloved Arsenal an easy draw to help former teammate and interim head coach Freddie Ljungberg.
The third round ties take place between 3-6 January.

- Man City - 16/5
