Kettering Town, who beat Hartlepool in round one, will welcome former FA Cup winners and current League One leaders Leeds United after today's second round draw.
Northwich Victoria, recent victors over Charlton will entertain League Two side Lincoln City while Staines Town will face either Millwall or AFC Wimbledon, who play on Monday night.
Meanwhile Blue Square South giant killers Bath City will have to wait to see if they will face either Forest Green Rovers or Mansfield Town who play their first round replay on 17th November.
The tie's other remaining big teams besides Leeds - Norwich City and Southampton - were both given away draws against Carlisle United/Morecambe and Northampton Town, respectively.
The draw also means there are guaranteed to be at least three non-league teams in the money-spinning third round.
Blue Square Premier sides Cambridge United and York City will play at the Abbey Stadium; Oxford United and Barrow will face one another at the Kassam Stadium; and Forest Green or Mansfield will travel to Blue Square South team Bath City.
