The draw, which will be carried out by Ruud Gullit and Paul Ince, takes place live on BBC1 at 7.30pm. Third round ties will be played between Friday 4th and Monday 7th January.

DJ27 added 13:15 - Dec 3 Is it worrying, that there isn't one team in that list that I'd be confident of us beating? On that basis, we'd be better of playing a Prem team, as we'd have nothing to lose.

muhrensleftfoot added 13:36 - Dec 3 Home draw against top six premier opposition. Be good to have a full house at Portman Road even though in all likelihood we'd get a hiding.

IpswichT62OldBoy added 15:23 - Dec 3 It would be a real achievement to get into the next round draw, I am 56 so remember when we did cup runs. It strikes me that there are fans alive now who have never seen us in the 4th round.
