This evening’s fourth-round draw saw the winner of the game between the Magpies and their League Two opponents handed a home tie in the next round.
They will face a Chelsea side who booked their place in round four by thrashing League Two side Barrow 5-0 at Stamford Bridge last night.
The fourth-round matches are scheduled to take place in the week beginning October 28.

The tie was originally due to take place at AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium yesterday evening, but the match was postponed after severe flooding caused serious damage to the playing surface.
