SWINDON Town will learn the identity of their first round opponents in the Emirates FA Cup on Monday evening.
The draw for the first round stage will be show live from 7pm on BT Sport and BBC2, with ties to take place on the weekend of November 4.
The fourth qualifying round stage takes place this weekend, after which clubs from Leagues One and Two will join those advancing in the hat.
Town will be trying to end a horror run in the competition, having not won a first-round match since the 2011-12 campaign, when they went all the way to the fourth round before being defeated by Leicester City.
Town have also not been drawn at home in the first round since the 2012-13 campaign, when they were beaten 2-0 at home by Macclesfield.
Since then, they have lost at Macclesfield again (4-0), Cheltenham (5-0) and drew 1-1 at non-league Eastleigh last season before losing the replay at the County Ground 3-1.
