Colchester United supporters do not have long to wait before they find out who their club will face in the FA Cup first round.

The draw takes place on Monday and will be screened live on BBC2, from 7pm.

The U's will be draw ball 14 when the draw takes place.

Last season, John McGreal’s side fell at the first hurdle after losing at home to Chesterfield, then of League One.

But two seasons ago, under Tony Humes and then Kevin Keen, they reached the fourth round of the competition when they were beaten 4-1 by Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Heybridge Swifts will be hoping to book their place alongside Colchester in Monday’s draw when they travel to play fellow Bostik League division one north side Haringey Borough this afternoon.

First-round ties will take place on the weekend of November 4.
