Stone Old Alleynians travel to Atherstone Town in the Vase, while Stourport Swifts welcome Loughborough Students.

Lye Town entertain Ollerton Town looking to reach the third round like they did three years ago, while AFC Wulfrunians travel to Rugby Town.

Midland Premier leaders Walsall Wood host Sandbach in the Vase having reached at least the third round of the competition in five consecutive seasons.

Eccleshall of the North West Counties League Division One South will feature in the second round for the first time in more than 30 years as they host Coventry Sphinx at Pershall Park.

Brocton, meanwhile, welcome Whitchurch Alport having got the furthest they have in the competition for three years.
