Non-league Havant & Waterlooville have been given the chance of a dream trip to Anfield in the FA Cup fourth round.
The Blue Square South side need to beat Swansea in their third-round replay, while Liverpool must defeat Luton.
Manchester United face either Tottenham or Reading, Arsenal will take on either Stoke or Newcastle, while holders Chelsea travel to Wigan.
Giant-killers Oldham and Huddersfield have drawn each other, while League Two's Mansfield host Middlesbrough.
Coventry's impressive 4-1 win over Blackburn in the third round is rewarded with a home tie against either Walsall or Millwall.
But with 12 third-round matches still to be decided, the draw for the fourth round will have to wait until the replays are out of the way to truly take shape.
Nevertheless, the possibility of Liverpool hosting a team five leagues below them has caught the imagination.
"It's a fantastic draw - it couldn't have gone much better," Havant player-manager Charlie Oatway told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I think we'll have the old tin hats on if we get that far. But it's great to see that light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of a big club like Liverpool."
Mansfield manager Billy Dearden, whose side are second from bottom in League Two, admitted getting past Middlesbrough would be a tall order.
"They are a top-class team, we'll have to be at our best to get any kind of result," said the Stags boss, whose side beat Brighton on Saturday.
"But it's a tremendous draw. We've got a Premier League club at home and we're looking forward to it."
