Harrogate Town will travel to League One Portsmouth in the second round of the FA Cup.

The tie, which takes place on the weekend commencing December 4, sees the League Two Sulphurites renew hostilities with the side who knocked them out of the competition at the first round stage back in 2019/20.

The 2008 FA Cup winners, who currently sit 14th in the third tier, triumphed 2-1 at Wetherby Road after Mark Beck headed Town into an early lead.
