#4 Unique match-ups
Despite the Premier League and Championship clubs only entering the competition in the third round, the concept of the FA Cup regularly leads to match-ups that are unfamiliar, to say the least.

The reason why the third round draw is interesting every year is that there is no seeding system that restricts the teams that can play each other. It is therefore just as likely that Manchester United face Manchester City, as it is that they travel to Mansfield Town.
Two great examples of the past two years are Arsenal's fifth-round tie with Sutton United last year and Tottenham's visit to Newport yesterday. While the Gunners didn't even have to leave London for their match, it was the first time that the two teams squared off in a competitive match.
Tottenham, on the other hand, played against Newport for the first time in 68 years. The FA Cup gives the lower league teams, and sometimes even amateur teams, their only real opportunity to ever host a Premier League side and create a special moment in their club histories.
