  "account": "Leicester City, who won the FA Cup five years ago, will take on National League North side Oxford City in the 2026-27 FA Cup first round. This marks the Foxes' first appearance at this stage of the competition since 2008, as they will face a lower-tier opponent in their quest for the second round. The 2021 champions have since been relegated to League One, currently sitting 14th in the table after an inconsistent start to the season. In a family affair, Peterborough United will host Reading, with Peterborough manager Robbie Savage facing off against his son Charlie's Reading side. A total of 91 teams were drawn for the first round of the competition, with four teams - including Tadley Calleva, who forced a replay against Aldershot - making their first appearance in the first round proper. Meanwhile, Bradford City will welcome National League North side Marine, while AFC Rushden & Diamonds, who have won five games in the competition this season, will face League One side Burton Albion.",
