The first-round draw took place at Wembley

Eighth-tier AFC Sudbury, the lowest-ranked side through to the FA Cup first round, have been drawn with Colchester.

The League Two U's will be looking to avoid a repeat of last season when they were knocked out of the competition by another eighth-tier side, Marine.

Marine face a replay with National League Wrexham to reach the first round this season and will travel to League Two Harrogate if they progress.

Seventh-tier Bowers & Pitsea visit League One Lincoln in one of 40 ties.

Sudbury and Marine are one of four eighth-tier sides left in the competition although Marske United and Pontefract Collieries also face replays to make the first round.

There is another match-up between League One and a seventh-tier club as 2008 winners Portsmouth host Harrow Borough, while Wigan Athletic, winners of the FA Cup in 2013, host National League Solihull Moors.

Elsewhere, seventh-tier sides Horsham and Banbury will face League Two opposition as the former travels to Carlisle and the latter hosts Barrow.

All games are to be played between 5 and 8 November.
