A fixture against Premier League opposition is a possibility now that the remaining teams from the top flight have entered the competition.

The draw is no longer split into north and south categories, so teams can now face any club still in the draw regardless of their league or location.

It's worth keeping track of balls 8 and 16 as that will produce a tie against Chelsea and current holders Manchester City respectively.

Tonight's draw takes place in the Sky Sports London studios as former England internationals Seaman and Lescott decide Blackpool’s fate.
