CHESTER City were this afternoon handed a home tie against Millwall in the FA Cup first round draw.

The Blues avoided a pairing with one of the many non-league sides in the competition and will instead take on the 2004 finalists.

The Lions are currently third in League One and yesterday lost 3-2 to table-topping Scunthorpe.

They head to the Deva Stadium to take on Simon Davies’ League Two strugglers on the weekend of November 8/9.
