  "account": "In the 2026-27 FA Cup first round, Leicester City will face Oxford City, a National League North side. This is the first time since 2008 that the Foxes have taken part at this stage of the tournament, as they will be playing against sixth-tier opposition. Leicester City, the 2021 winners, are currently 14th in League One after an inconsistent start to the season. Meanwhile, Peterborough United will host Reading in a family affair, with Peterborough boss Robbie Savage taking on his son Charlie's side. This is just one of the 91 teams named in the draw, with four sides reaching the first round for the first time. Lowest-ranked team Tadley Calleva had to force a replay with Aldershot, while the highest-ranked team Bradford City will welcome National League North side Marine. Eighth-tier AFC Rushden & Diamonds have won five games in the competition this season, securing their place against League One side Burton Albion. Stafford Rangers and Luton Town will also compete, with Stafford awaiting another large crowd for their FA Cup match.",
