Town have been paired with Portsmouth in the Papa Johns Trophy round of 32.

The Blues will play at home having won their first-round group with Pompey having been second in theirs. The tie will be played in the week commencing 21st November.

Town beat Danny Cowley's side 3-2 at Portman Road last month in the only meeting of the sides so far this season.

Conor Chaplin, Marcus Harness and Gassan Ahadme (loan) are all former Pompey players, while Blues striker Joe Pigott is on loan at Fratton Park this season and ex-Town loanee Ryan Tunnicliffe is also in the Hampshire side's squad.

BontyBlue added 05:48 - Nov 12 ITFC's comms team will be delighted this fixture is the headline grabbing ‘pick of last 32 ties' at BBC news online. Fancy our chances with home advantage but I'm sure we won't have it all our own way. Can Joe Pigott play against his home club? Pompey News reporting from FA Cup first round: “Pigott's poacher's finish after coming on as a second-half substitute against Hereford on Friday night was just his third of the season and ended a run of 11 games without a goal.” Back o'the net - Town!
