Crawley Town one win from a prized FA Cup 3rd round spot - but who's in their way?

The draw for the second round of the FA Cup has been made – and Rob Elliot’s Crawley Town will be at home to Lincoln City.

We’re now only one round from the third round, when Premier League and Championship clubs join the lower-league teams who make it that far.

The Reds won through to the second round in a 2-1 win away to National League Maidenhead – but needed a late, late equaliser from Toby Mullarkey and an extra-time goal from Tola Showunmi to get there.

They were the only one of three Sussex teams to come through the first round – Worthing lost 2-0 at home to Morecambe and Horsham went down 3-1 at Chesterfield.

Second round ties are scheuled to played over the weekend of November 29 to December 2, with a number of games set to be selected for live coverage on BBC or ITV.

Lincoln City beat Non League Chesham United 4-0 on Monday night. Crawley recently beat the Imps 3-0 at the Broadfield Stadium.
