In Sunday’s draw, Manchester United moved ahead of League One side Wigan Athletic, while champions Manchester City hosted Huddersfield Town.

Chelsea will host the Championship Preston North End.

Wrexham, who enjoyed a fairy-tale run to the fourth round last season, will face Shrewsbury Town if they can beat Yeovil Town in their second-round clash later on Sunday.

Non-league side Maidstone United, the lowest-ranked team guaranteed a place in the third round, host either Stevenage or Port Vale.

Meanwhile, fierce Newcastle United and Sunderland will face off at the Stadium of Light.

The third round of the FA Cup is scheduled to take place from January 5 to 8 and the final will take place on May 25.
