Nottingham Forest FA Cup third round: What time is the draw and what ball number are Reds?

Nottingham Forest will be ball number 30 in Monday night’s draw for the FA Cup third round.

The Reds will enter the competition along with the rest of their Championship rivals and all 20 Premier League clubs.

Forest will be Nottinghamshire’s only representatives in the draw after both Notts County and Mansfield Town were knocked out over the weekend at Northampton and Shrewsbury respectively.

Last season, Forest’s involvement in the competition began and ended at Stamford Bridge, losing 2-0 to reigning champions Chelsea in the third round.

The campaign before that saw the Reds get to the fourth round stage having seen off holders Arsenal 4-2 at the City Ground, but were then dumped out at Hull City.

Tonight’s draw will take place at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium – the home of last season’s winners, and is live on the BBC from 7pm, with Tony Adams and Micah Richards picking out the balls.
