Hastings came from behind to win 3-1 at home to Southern Combination League Premier Division team Hassocks in round two last month, while Crawley prevailed by the same score at home to National League South club Bognor Regis Town.

League Two outfit Crawley fielded only a small number of first team regulars in that match and you would expect the Red Devils to bring a fairly young squad to The Pilot Field next month.

Draw in full: Horsham v Littlehampton Town; Three Bridges v Whitehawk; East Grinstead Town v Burgess Hill Town; Pagham v Lewes; Saltdean United v Broadbridge Heath; Eastbourne Borough v Worthing; Brighton & Hove Albion v Haywards Heath Town or Selsey; Hastings United v Crawley Town.
