Who will present the draw?
It's not yet been confirmed who will be presenting the draw and what former players will be picking the numbers but broadcaster Gary Lineker is set to return to the nation's TV screens.
The 62-year-old was reinstated as lead presenter on BBC's Match of the Day on Monday following an impartiality row with the broadcaster over comments he made on the government's new asylum policy.
He won't be on Match of the Day this week, as he will be presenting BBC's coverage of Man City vs Burnley and Brighton vs Grimsby.
Instead, Mark Chapman will sit in the hot seat whilst Lineker carries out his other broadcasting duties for the organisation, according to the Daily Mirror.
