Maldon & Tiptree, from the Eighth Tier, to Face Port Vale in FA Cup Draw

Eighth-tier Maldon & Tiptree will travel to League One Port Vale in the FA Cup first round while 2013 winners Wigan Athletic host Hemel Hempstead Town of the National League South. Essex-based side Maldon & Tiptree are the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition.

The Jammers currently lead the Isthmian League North Division - 103 places below third-tier Port Vale in the English football pyramid.

Meanwhile, new Luton Town boss Jack Wilshere will come up against Robbie Savage if Forest Green Rovers beat Worthing on Monday evening. Former Arsenal and England midfielder Wilshere, 33, was named as Matt Bloomfield's successor at Kenilworth Road earlier on Monday.

Elsewhere, Tom Cleverley's Plymouth Argyle will take on Wycombe Wanderers at Home Park, with Huddersfield Town travelling to Bolton Wanderers in three all-League One ties.

Vertu Trophy holders Peterborough United are at home to Cardiff City, while Oldham Athletic host Northampton Town and Crewe Alexandra will face Doncaster Rovers.

Should seventh-tier Gainsborough United beat Hartlepool United in their fourth qualifying round replay, the Lincolnshire side will welcome League Two Accrington Stanley to The Northolme.

The ties will be played across the weekend of Saturday, 1 and Sunday, 2 November.

Holders Crystal Palace and the rest of the clubs playing in the Premier League and Championship will enter the competition in the third round.
