Bolton were handed a tough FA Cup second-round draw as they were given a home tie against Sheffield United.

Bolton edged out the Blades 1-0 on the opening day of the season, with both teams currently chasing promotion in League One.

Westfields, who play in the ninth tier and are the lowest ranked side left in the competition, will host Bury or AFC Wimbledon, if they can beat Curzon Ashton in a first-round replay.

Sitting fourth in the Midland League Premier Division, Westfields drew 1-1 with Curzon Ashton on Saturday and now find themselves potentially two wins away from a third-round tie.

In another all-League One fixture, Charlton will host MK Dons while Rochdale will face Carlisle, if they overcome Maidstone, while Fleetwood will travel to Shrewsbury if they can beat Southport.

Bristol Rovers, who are fifth in League One, were held by League Two side Crawley Town last weekend and the winner of the replay will be up against either Taunton or Barrow.

Chesterfield are at home to Wycombe, Oxford United face a trip to Macclesfield Town and Oldham are away to National League side Lincoln.
