The FA Cup first round always throws up some unexpected non-league delights, and this year's smallest team, Haringey Borough, are to set to take on League One side, AFC Wimbledon.

Borough plough their trade in the Isthmian Premier Division, the seventh tier of English football.

The Tottenham based club will welcome fellow London underdogs, AFC Wimbledon in what promises to be an absolute delight for all FA Cup purists.

AFC Wimbledon currently find themselves 21st in the League One table, and are many favourites to exit the division through the trap-door this season. The Phoenix club's own rise back through the divisions has been a fairytale for their fans and while there is no doubt they would be the first to welcome a non-league club doing well in the FA Cup, they are unlikely to want it to be at their own expense.
