The winners of the third round replay between Town and Preston at Deepdale a week on Tuesday will play Nottingham Forest away in the fourth round.
Forest thrashed West Ham 5-0 at the City Ground in their third round tie this afternoon.
Town were last at Forest in the Championship last month when the game ended 0-0.
The teams have previously been drawn together three times in the FA Cup. In January 1981 the Blues won 1-0 at Portman Road in a replay following a 3-3 draw at the City Ground.
Forest won 3-0 at home in the 1988/89 season and again at the City Ground by the same scoreline in the 1996/97 campaign.
Forest very much have the upper hand overall, winning 34 of the games between the two sides with 15 ending in draws and Town victorious 19 times. It's just over 14 years since the Blues last won at the City Ground.
Fourth round ties will be played on the weekend of January 25th and 26th when the Blues are currently scheduled to face Reading at home in the Championship.
