Arsenal were the second team out of the hat, drawn away to Fleetwood Town, who beat Sheffield United thanks to an own goal.
The two sides have never faced each other before but Arsenal will be travelling to play at their ground, Highbury Stadium, which has a capacity of 5,327.
They also play in red shirts with white sleeves, white shorts and red socks.
As mentioned, the game will take place in the week commencing October 26th, which will put it between Arsenal’s game at home to Everton on Saturday, October 24th, and the game away to Liverpool on Sunday, November 1st.
With the existing Saturday-Sunday schedule, the midweek turnaround shouldn’t be too difficult by Arsenal’s usual standards.
