Sides in the last 16 will be just three rounds away from a Wembley final in May.

Whitstable Town’s trip to Suffolk side Walsham Le Willows was postponed on Friday due to a frozen pitch. The teams will try again this weekend with the winners paired against Crawley Down Gatwick or Fleet Town in the next round.

Whitstable have reached the fifth round once before in their history, losing 1-0 at North Ferriby United in 1996/97.

VCD Athletic will host Hartpury University or Fareham Town if they can defeat Epsom & Ewell.

VCD reached the fifth round in both 2005/06 and 2006/07, losing 1-0 at Cammell Laird and 3-2 at home to Bideford respectively.

Erith & Belvedere, who are away to White Ensign this Saturday, will entertain March Town United or Daventry Town if they progress.

The Deres have only reached the fifth round once before, beating Holbeach United 3-2 in 2014/15 before losing 2-0 at home to North Shields in the quarter-finals.

The ties for the fifth round are due to be played on Saturday, February 1 with the winners earning £2,250 in prize money and losing sides collecting £725.
