One of those sides is non-League Maidstone United who caused a massive shock by defeating Championship high-flyers Ipswich Town 2-1 at Portman Road in the prior round.
They will be travelling to Championship opposition again for the 5th Round as they take on Coventry City.
Aside from that the ties will be Premier League sides facing off against each other, or Championship clubs hoping to cause an upset against top division teams.
