Who?

1874 Northwich are one of 23 clubs to enter the competition at this stage as a reward for reaching the fourth round last season.

Stockton Town, runners-up to Thatcham Town in the final at Wembley in May, are another.

Irlam and Squires Gate join Northwich Victoria as members of the North West Counties League’s Premier Division definitely through, while Runcorn Town and Silsden both face midweek replays.

The draw, which consists of 64 ties, is made on a geographical basis.

How it works

If a first match is drawn after 90 minutes, then extra-time is played.

Providing both clubs agree in advance, that same game can go to a penalty shoot-out to decide a winner if the scores remain level after an added 30 minutes.

Should both clubs prefer a replay in the event of a draw after extra-time, then it must be played on or before the Thursday following the first meeting.

Subject to a prior application, the FA can in exceptional circumstances approve a replay being scheduled for the following Saturday.
