The other non-league team to make it to the last 32 — fifth-tier Boreham Wood — also was handed a tough match when the draw was made Sunday, a trip to Championship leader Bournemouth.

Third-tier Cambridge, which won away to Newcastle in the biggest shock of the third round , was drawn at home to second-tier Luton.

There were three guaranteed all-Premier League matchups — Everton vs. Brentford, Tottenham vs. Brighton and Wolverhampton vs. Norwich — while the favorites for the competition got home draws against lower-league opposition.

Defending Premier League champion Manchester City will host Fulham, Liverpool will play Cardiff and Chelsea was drawn with Plymouth.
