Hide AdHull City are the only other Yorkshire team left in the competition and still have to play their home third-round game with Wolverhampton Wanderers after it was postponed on Sunday due to a waterlogged pitch.
That third-round tie will now be played this Sunday (2pm) at Barton Town Football Club, between a City side top of Division One North and Wolves fourth in the Northern Premier Division.
Should they claim that scalp, Hull will then play either Nottingham Forest of the third tier or Championship strugglers Reading.
Fourth-round ties will be played on Sunday, January 14, with winning clubs receiving £54,000 in prize money and losing sides £15,000.
