FA Cup second round draw (November 7th 2016)

Sky Bet League One heavyweights Bolton and Sheffield United will meet in one of 20 second-round ties in the FA Cup.


Bolton edged out the Blades 1-0 on the opening day of the season, with both teams currently chasing promotion in League One.

Westfields, who play in the ninth tier and are the lowest ranked side left in the competition, will host Bury or AFC Wimbledon, if they can beat Curzon Ashton in a first-round replay.

Sitting fourth in the Midland League Premier Division, Westfields drew 1-1 with Curzon Ashton on Saturday and now find themselves potentially two wins away from a third-round tie.

In another all-League One fixture, Charlton will host MK Dons while Rochdale will face Carlisle, if they overcome Maidstone, while Fleetwood will travel to Shrewsbury if they can beat Southport in a replay.

Bristol Rovers, who are fifth in League One, were held by League Two side Crawley Town last weekend and the winner of the replay will be up against either Taunton or Barrow.

Chesterfield are at home to Wycombe, Oxford United face a trip to Macclesfield Town and Oldham are away to National League side Lincoln.

Newport County could have an all-League Two clash at Plymouth but first they will have to beat Alfreton Town in a replay. Oldham travel to National League side Lincoln, while Port Vale are at home to Hartlepool.

League Two sides Luton and Yeovil are also due to meet but only if Yeovil beat Solihull Moors, against whom they drew 2-2 at home on Saturday.

National League club Boreham Wood or League Two side Notts County face a tough match at home to Peterborough United.

Whitehawk of National League South have been also been handed a home tie against Northampton, if they can beat Stourbridge at the second time of asking.

Millwall are at home to Braintree Town, Blackpool host Gillingham or Brackley Town and Woking are up against League Two's Accrington Stanley.

Cheltenham or Crewe will travel to National League side Sutton United and Cambridge United or Dover Athletic are at home to Morecambe or Coventry.

In a potentially all-National League tie, Eastleigh have been handed a home draw against Dagenham & Redbridge or Halifax. Eastleigh, however, will first have to beat League One club Swindon.
