BBC to show Dover v Leicester and Salisbury v Blackpool
Non-league clubs Dover Athletic and Salisbury will stage the BBC's two chosen FA Cup second-round ties next month. National League South side Dover welcome former Premier League and FA Cup winners Leicester City to Crabble on Saturday, 5 December (17:15 GMT, BBC Two/iPlayer). Another sixth-tier side Salisbury will host Blackpool, winners of one of the most memorable finals of all time in 1953, at the Ray Mac Stadium the following day (Sunday, 12:15 GMT, BBC Two/iPlayer). Dover reached the second round courtesy of a 2-0 home win over National League Wealdstone and are seeking to reach round three for just the third time in their history, having lost against Huddersfield in 2011 and at home to Premier League Crystal Palace in 2015. The Foxes - who lost on their first four FA Cup final appearances before Youri Tielemans' goal secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the 2021 final - now play in League One after back-to-back relegations and overcame Oxford City of National League North 4-2 in the first round. Salisbury are yet to concede a goal in their three ties this season and thrashed Sholing 6-0 to reach round two for the first time since the club was reformed in 2015.
