National League clubs enter this season’s competitions for the first time at this stage and current leaders Wrexham have been handed a trip to National League North club Blyth Spartans.

The two sides famously met in the fifth round in 1978, with a controversial equaliser by Wrexham’s Dixie McNeill forcing a replay in the North East.

In front of over 42,000 supporters at Newcastle United’s St James Park, a brave Spartans display went without reward as a 2-1 win earned Wrexham a quarter-final tie against Arsenal.

Elsewhere in the draw, National League strugglers Scunthorpe United will be in the North East as they visit Northern Premier League Premier Division title challengers South Shields.

club Anstey Nomads have landed a plum tie as they host and Clitheroe or Bury will entertain York City.
