BBC to show Dover v Leicester and Salisbury v Blackpool

Dover Athletic and Salisbury will host the BBC’s selected live FA Cup second-round ties, bringing two sixth-tier clubs into the spotlight against former top-flight winners. Dover face Leicester City on 5 December, while Salisbury meet Blackpool the following day.

Dover’s 2-0 win over Wealdstone earned them a tie against Leicester, who now play in League One after two successive relegations and beat Oxford City 4-2 in the first round. Salisbury reached this stage for the first time since reforming in 2015 and have yet to concede in three cup ties this season. The televised matches are on BBC Two and iPlayer; clubs shown live receive £60,000, and second-round winners and losers receive £79,500 and £21,200 respectively.
