National League leaders Chesterfield will play host to Leyton Orient in the FA Cup second round after defeating Portsmouth on Sunday.

Chesterfield have been handed a home draw against Leyton Orient in the FA Cup second round.

On Sunday, the National League leaders upset the odds to defeat League One frontrunners Portsmouth, prevailing by a 1-0 scoreline.

Paul Cook's side will now face another third-tier club in the form of Leyton Orient in one of the pick of the ties.

Wigan Athletic - the 2013 winners - will travel to either Chester FC or York City, while Wrexham will go up against National League South club Yeovil Town.

Oxford United, who are the highest-placed side left in the competition at this stage, will meet either Slough Town or Grimsby Town.

Notts County square off against Shrewsbury Town in another eye-catching tie, while Walsall's reward for seeing off Sheppey United is another away fixture against non-league opposition in Alfreton Town.

Reading will make the trip to the South coast to meet Eastleigh, while Aldershot Town - who defeated Swindon Town 7-4 in a remarkable contest on Saturday - will play League Two leaders Stockport County.
