Colchester United manager Phil Parkinson had to sweat it out for 48 hours as he waited to find out who his side play in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The U's booked their place in the next stage of the prestigious competition with a superb 2-0 win over Hull City at the Kingston Communication Stadium.
The draw was due to take place at the Football Association headquarters at 1.30pm today with Parkinson hoping for a lucrative tie against a Premiership giant.
He said: "I would like a big team away, the way we are playing at the moment on the road.
"It's an important competition to earn a bit of money in and a big bonus for the fans.
"The financial implications are massive."
