Leicester City drawn against sixth-tier Dover Athletic in FA Cup second round

Former FA Cup winners Leicester City have been handed a trip to sixth-tier Dover Athletic in the FA Cup second round draw, with the Foxes now competing in League One following consecutive relegations from the Premier League and Championship.

Leicester, who lifted the FA Cup in 2021, were among the higher-profile names in the draw and will travel to the National League South outfit — a fixture that underlines how far the club has fallen in recent seasons.

Elsewhere, the draw produced one of its most eye-catching ties for the non-league game. Seventh-tier Wimborne Town, who caused a significant upset by defeating League One side Crawley Town in the first round, have been rewarded with a home match against Bradford City, who are pushing for promotion from the third tier.

Blackpool and Luton Town, both competing in League One, were also drawn against non-league opposition. Blackpool face Salisbury, while Luton — relegated from the Premier League last season — travel to AFC Fylde.

The full second round draw is as follows:

• Chesterfield v Cheltenham Town
• Guiseley v Notts County
• Wigan Athletic v Barnsley
• Exeter City v Stevenage
• Plymouth Parkway/Berkhamsted v Barnet
• York City v Carlisle
• Crewe Alexandra v Plymouth Argyle
• AFC Fylde v Luton Town
• Barrow v Kidderminster Harriers
• Colchester v Mansfield Town
• Rochdale v Newport County
• Dover Athletic v Leicester City
• Port Vale v Leyton Orient
• Grimsby Town v Oldham Athletic
• Shrewsbury Town v Burton Albion
• Salisbury v Blackpool
• Wimborne Town v Bradford City
• Rotherham v Bristol Rovers
• Reading v Stockport County
• Wycombe Wanderers v MK Dons

The winners of these ties will advance to the third round, where the Premier League and Championship clubs enter the competition, bringing with them the prospect of lucrative home gates and national attention for the surviving lower-league and non-league sides.
