The FA Cup’s fifth round will see giant-killers Maidstone take on either Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry, two division down.
The Kent-based National League South team, which is ranked sixth in the English football pyramid, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the league on Saturday when they defeated Ipswich 2-1.
They will now journey to another Championship team to take on the victorious team from the rematch between the Owls and Sky Blues in the round of 16.
Holders Even though Maidstone were eliminated, Manchester City was still in the running as one of three teams, although captain Gavin Hoyte was satisfied with the draw.
“We’re going to have a fantastic day out. Making it to the fifth round is amazing. We don’t feel let down.”
George Elokobi, the manager, acknowledged that he had been dying to visit his old team, Wolves.
Still, he declared: “I think it’s a good draw for both clubs.” When the time comes, we must be sure to go once more.
“To be honest, I was unhappy that we didn’t draw Wolves because it was my personal preference. But we have to go; it’s not about me; it’s about our football team and our players.
“The magic of the Cup is still very much alive and on the day we will be ready and hopefully we’ll give a good account of ourselves.”
Instead, Holders City was drawn away at Luton, and Newcastle will travel to the winner of Monday’s match between Wrexham and Blackburn.
Brighton goes to Wolves, Aston Villa or Chelsea hosts Leeds or Plymouth, and Bournemouth plays Championship leaders Leicester.
Liverpool will host Southampton or Watford at Anfield after defeating Norwich 5-2 on Sunday.
