The holders travel to second-tier Harlston Town as the cup third-round draw throws up classic ties.
Holders Northgate United will begin the defence of the trophy with a tricky away tie after being drawn against second-tier Harlston Town in the third round.
The tie, scheduled for the week of 26 October, sends the holders to a ground where they have lost on two of their last three visits. Harlston stunned top-flight opposition in the last round and will fancy another upset.
Elsewhere, Eastvale City host Portvale Rovers in an all-Premier Division clash, while Real Castella travel to Chelton Town. The draw has set up a fascinating round of ties across the country.
Manager Paul Reilly welcomed the test: cup football is about mentality, and his squad will rotate while keeping one eye on the league. Tickets for the away end sold out within hours.
