Wolves have been handed a kind draw at home to Crystal Palace while Albion could face promotion rivals Newcastle in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Villa will also be pleased with their opponents next up – League One strugglers Brighton are the visitors to their illustrious Premier League opponents.
Albion will have to wait to see who they will face after Plymouth and Newcastle played out a goalless draw, with the replay set for St James Park on Wednesday night.
Birmingham face an all-Premier League tie if they manage to nudge past Championship club Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, with a trip to face Everton Goodison Park lying in wait for the winner of the tie.
