Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur will head to Minnows Marine in the FA Cup third round.
Premier League leaders Spurs have been paired with the Premier League’s North West Division 1 squad, which welcomes Mourinho’s men after defeating Havant & Waterlooville in the second round.
Spurs travel to Rossett Park in Crosby to take on Neil Young’s Lilywhites in January, when part-time workers hope to achieve the biggest shock in competition history.
“What an incredible game for the club, it doesn’t get much better than this,” said the former Chester boss.
“Jose Mourinho to Marine? It’s fantastic. We can’t wait. It is a wonderful reward for all of the club members who work so hard to keep it going.
“We will plan our best. Usually with Jose’s teams he puts on pretty strong sides. We’ve won seven games to get here and it’s just amazing.

Chorley, another non-league prospect, also secured a home draw against Wayne Rooney’s Derby County – currently at the bottom of the championship.
Stockport of the National League also got the home advantage in their draw against West Ham.
The most tantalizing game of the round sees Premier League champions Liverpool heading to Aston Villa for their first meeting since the Reds were destroyed 7-2 at Villa Park earlier this season.
Manchester United host Watford, while Chelsea host League Two Morecambe.
Elsewhere, Arsenal will host Newcastle United, while Wolves face Crystal Palace in another Premier League game.

Crawley Town was brought in to play at Leeds at home, while the Bristol Rovers were rewarded for beating Darlington 6-0 in the second round with a home draw against Sheffield United.
The matches will be played between January 8 and January 11 and this year, unlike other years, there will be no reruns.
As such, any tie after 90 minutes will result in extra time and, if necessary, penalties.
