Why are FA Cup third-round matches kicking off one minute late?

All 32 ties in the third round of the FA Cup will have their kick-off delayed by one minute as part of a project aimed at encouraging people to look after their mental health.

The FA and football authorities across the country have collaborated with Public Health England's 'Every Mind Matters' campaign, which will see a one minute video play ahead of kick-off.

Figures such as Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, Tottenham star Son Heung-Min and Manchester United's Harry Maguire all feature in the visual.

Clubs are also embracing the campaign and making efforts to promote it through social media.

As part of the campaign, individuals are prompted to "take a minute" to fill out a 'Mind Plan', which asks questions regarding mental health.

Find out more about the FA's collaboration and the 'Mind Plan'.

How can I watch the draw for the FA Cup fourth round?

As well as a serving of live matches in the third round, the draw for the FA Cup fourth round will also take place live on TV.

The draw will be held on Monday January 6 on BBC One as part of the channel's live coverage of the game between Arsenal and Leeds United.
