Liverpool will play at home against League Two side Accrington Stanley, while Chelsea will take on Morecambe, the bottom team in League Four. Newcastle will host Bromley, another League Two club.
Tottenham will visit Tamworth, one of the only two non-league sides left in the competition, and Dagenham and Redbridge, another National League team, will travel to Millwall, a second-tier club.
