The other non-league side in the draw, Eastleigh, are at home to Bolton Wanderers.
Struggling Premier League champions Chelsea will welcome either Leyton Orient or Scunthorpe United to Stamford Bridge, Liverpool visit League Two Exeter City and Manchester United host League One Sheffield United.
Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool, smarting from a 2-0 league defeat at Newcastle on Sunday, will visit fourth-tier Exeter City.
The draw was made by former Canaries loan striker John Hartson, who made four appearances for City in 2007, and England women’s head coach Mark Sampson at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff this evening. It will be a familiar foe as Arsenal are coming off of a 3-1 home victory Sunderland in the weekend.
Teams from the Premier League and Sky Bet Championship will be in the hat and the Robins are ball number nine. Their neighbours Manchester United are #25 and Manchester City will be #24.
After various steps were taken, Football’s world governing body opted to fine the Hammers £71,000 and reprimand the Premier League club and Sakho rather than throw them out of the FA Cup.
