The other non-league team to make it to the last 32 — fifth-tier Boreham Wood — also was handed a tough match when the draw was made Sunday, a trip to Championship leader Bournemouth.

Third-tier Cambridge, which won away to Newcastle in the biggest shock of the third round, was drawn at home to second-tier Luton.

There were three all-Premier League matchups — Everton vs. Brentford, Tottenham vs. Brighton and Wolverhampton vs. Norwich — while the favorites for the competition got home draws against lower-league opposition.

Defending Premier League champion Manchester City will host Fulham, Liverpool will play Cardiff and Chelsea was drawn with Plymouth.

Leicester, the defending champion, will play away to second-tier Nottingham Forest, which beat Arsenal 1-0 on Sunday in another upset.

The fourth round will take place early next month.

Fourth-round draw: Crystal Palace vs Hartlepool, Bournemouth vs Boreham Wood, Huddersfield vs Barnsley, Peterborough vs Queens Park Rangers, Cambridge United vs Luton Town, Southampton vs Coventry, Chelsea vs Plymouth, Everton vs Brentford, Kidderminster vs West Ham, Manchester United or Aston Villa vs Middlesbrough, Tottenham vs Brighton, Liverpool vs Cardiff, Stoke vs Wigan, Nottingham Forest vs Leicester, Manchester City vs Fulham, Wolverhampton vs Norwich
