As a reward for reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup, Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City will be facing former European champions Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
The Pilgrims' reward for defeating Premier League side Brentford at the Gtec Community Stadium thanks to a stunning solo strike from Morgan Whitaker, in what was Kevin Nancekivell's final game in charge at caretaker manager following the appointment of Miran Muslic, is a home tie with Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Argyle famously took the Reds to a replay in the 2016-17 season under Derek Adams, as they drew 0-0 at Anfield before losing 1-0 at Home Park to an effort to from their Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva.
Exeter City's prize for beating Championship club Oxford United is a home draw against Premier League surprise package Nottingham Forest, who have emerged as Champions League contenders under Nuno Espirito Santos, a club the Grecians haven't faced since the 1950-51 campaign when they met in Division Three South.
In spite of winning two European Cups, four League Cups and a league title under the legendary Brian Clough, Forest never managed to win the FA Cup under his reign. If Espirito Santos could manage to lead them to glory in the cup this season, it would write his own chapter in the club's history - just as he would do if they qualified for the Champions League.
