King’s Lynn Town will play 2008 winners Portsmouth in the second round of the FA Cup.

In the second round for the first time in their history, King’s Lynn, from the National League and one of 10 non-elite teams left in the competition, will travel to Fratton Park.

In another cracking tie, Chorley, who knocked out Wigan, have been rewarded with a tie against the highest-placed team currently in the competition in League One leaders Peterborough.

Chorley overcame the Sky Bet League One side, winners of the competition as recently as 2013, 3-2 after extra time on Sunday and will now travel to London Road to face Posh.

Eighth-tier sides Canvey Island, the lowest ranked club still involved, and Marine both have home ties against Boreham Wood and Havant & Waterlooville respectively.

The second round ties will take place from 27-30 November, with victory providing a potential tie against Premier League opposition in the third round - here is the draw in full:
