## Summary

The article previews the FA Cup first round proper, highlighting the non-league clubs and unusual stories that make the early rounds compelling. With 31 ties kicking off at 3pm GMT on Saturday and no VAR, lower-league and non-league sides get a chance to challenge established Football League teams.

Macclesfield, who stunned holders Crystal Palace in January, travel to Mansfield. Other fixtures include Marine at Bradford City, AFC Rushden & Diamonds at Burton, Alvechurch at Plymouth, Cray Wanderers against Stockport County, and Reading at Peterborough, where manager Robbie Savage faces his son Charlie’s team. Billy Sharp is also set to make a one-game return for Rushden, aiming for his 300th career goal after retiring on 299.
