The FA Cup first round gets under way this weekend and there are three League One clubs looking to avoid a banana skin.

Brighton will be looking to transfer their impressive form to the cup against Blue Square Bet South side
Woking, who famously beat West Brom in the competition in 1991 before narrowly losing to Everton in the fourth round.
Huddersfield are currently second in League One and travel to
Cambridge United, who were quarter-finalists in successive seasons at the start of the 1990s.

Accrington Stanley and
Bury respectively.
