Blackpool to host Birmingham in FA Cup second round

A total of 20 matches will be played in the FA Cup second round

Former Premier League sides Blackpool and Birmingham City have been drawn together in the second round of the FA Cup.

Former FA Cup winners Blackpool are currently 16th in League One and will be at home to League One leaders Birmingham.

The tie will mean Blackpool manager Steve Bruce faces his former club, having played for Blues and later bossed the team from 2001 to 2007.

Tamworth were one of 10 non-league sides in the second-round draw after upsetting Huddersfield on Friday and have earned an away tie against Burton Albion.

Kettering Town's reward for knocking out Northampton is a home tie against Doncaster Rovers while fellow seventh-tier outfit Harborough Town are away to League One Reading.

Gainsborough Trinity, third bottom in the Northern Premier League, are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition and they will make the trip to North Yorkshire to visit Harrogate Town.

"When you've waited 72 years to get into round two you'll take anything, but it's not too far for the fans to travel so it's a great tie," manager Russ Wilcox said on BBC Two.

"The fans have stuck with us, they've been behind us from day one, so hopefully we can reward them again and get in with the big boys."

The ties will take place from 29 November to 2 December.
