The draw took place before Brackley Town vs Burton Albion on Monday evening
Preston North End will host Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup third round.
It will be a first return to Deepdale for ex-Lilywhites boss, Ryan Lowe. The Liverpudlian spent December 2021 to August 2024 in the dugout at Preston. He took over at the Latics in March of this year.
Last season, the Lilywhites made it to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1966 but came up short at home to Aston Villa.
It was Crystal Palace who went on to lift the trophy at Wembley, with the Eagles seeing off Manchester City. Round three fixtures will take place across the weekend of Saturday, 10 January.
