Both sides must navigate their way through first-round replays first, but any encounter between the two would provide a major talking point.

AFC Wimbledon set themselves up in 2002 in response to Wimbledon's move to Milton Keynes and, especially after Wimbledon changed their name, consider themselves to be the real continuation of the Wimbledon side that famously won the

FA Cup in 1988.

Since their formation they have progressed through the non-League ranks to the Conference Premier and, if they can overcome Ebbsfleet and MK get the better of Stevenage, they will have the home meeting they crave.

Another club created due to fan disenchantment, FC United of Manchester, will travel to Brighton or Woking after their dramatic win over Rochdale on Friday, while Dover, who knocked out Gillingham on Saturday, will host either Brentford or Aldershot.

Darlington's reward for knocking out Bristol Rovers is a home meeting with either Rotherham United or York City, while fellow giantkillers Tamworth will travel to Carlisle United.

Other notable ties include non-league side Swindon Supermarine making the trip to League One side Colchester, who beat Bradford City, while Vauxhall Motors will be at home to Yeovil if they can get the better of Hartlepool in a replay.

Non-league Droylsden will face Dagenham or Leyton Orient, Crawley welcome Swindon. Southampton meet Cheltenham, Torquay will come up against Fleetwood or Walsall and the winner of an all-London replay between Barnet and Charlton will play Corby or Luton.
