Non-League side Maidstone United will travel to Coventry in the FA Cup fifth round, while holders Manchester City make the trip to Luton.
The National League South club from Kent pulled off one of the great upsets in FA Cup history by winning 2-1 at Ipswich on Saturday and will now make the journey to another Championship team in the last 16.
Maidstone manager George Elokobi told Sky Sports News: "Another Championship side. It's going to be a big day out for us. It's incredible to get into the fifth round. We are not disappointed.
"In my opinion, it's a good draw for both clubs. We have to make sure that when the time comes, we go again.
"My personal preference was Wolves and I was disappointed that we didn't draw them to be honest. But it's not about me, it's about our football club and our players and we have to go out and do it again.
"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."
