Portsmouth and Sunderland drawn away in FA Cup second round

 during The Emirates FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium on May 19, 2018 in London, England.

Portsmouth and Sunderland have been handed away ties for the second round of the FA Cup.

Sky Bet League One leaders Portsmouth, the highest ranked club in the draw, will face Rochdale at Spotland.

Sunderland also face a fellow third-tier side, after they were drawn to play Walsall at the Banks's Stadium.

National League leaders Wrexham will play Newport County at the Racecourse Ground, while Guisely of National League North will entertain Fleetwood, managed by Joey Barton.

Guiseley caused one of the first round's biggest upsets on Sunday when they beat Cambridge 4-3 at Nethermoor, having held on after leading 4-0 at one stage.

Elsewhere, National League side Solihull Moors were drawn to play Blackpool at home, with another non-league side, Woking, earning a trip to managerless Swindon.

The Robins sacked Phil Brown at the weekend, despite defeating York in the first round of the cup.
