City - the only Sussex club left in the competition - have so far beaten Deal, Whitstable and Horley Town to reach the last 16 - the first time they have reached this stage, going one better than last year's journey to round four.

It's a long trip for City and their fans - 1874's ground is in Winsford, just to the south of Northwich, in Cheshire - a 470-mile round trip.

Meanwhile Chi Ladies have also been handed a tough test - they will visit The New Saints in the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup. That is due to take place on Sunday, February 4.

TNS LFC sit second in the WPL midlands division one and have lost only three games all season.
