A fan poll has revealed Harrogate Town fans' hopes of seeing their team line up against the likes of Mo Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo or Harry Kane in the FA Cup.
The third round is when Premier League clubs enter the historic competition — and smaller clubs like Harrogate Town can look forward to a potentially glamorous and lucrative tie.
We asked a Harrogate Town fan group on Facebook which team they hope will be picked out of the hat to face Simon Weaver's men. The draw takes place from 7pm tonight and will be broadcast live on ITV4.
Around 50 fans responded.
Many are hoping for a draw against Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United as some fans will have some split allegiances. The two neighbours used to regularly play pre-season friendlies against each other but have never faced off in a competitive fixture.

Callum Hurle was hoping Town would be rewarded with a tie against Jurgen Klopp's star-laden Liverpool side.
