Ashton United will continue their defence of the Manchester Premier Cup with a home tie against Wythenshawe Town FC.

The Robins, who beat Hyde United in last year's final, progressed to this stage of the competition after beating Maine Road in the previous round.

Meanwhile, Wythenshawe, who are currently second in the North West Counties Premier Division, booked their place in the next round after beating FC United 3-1 on Tuesday night. Former Curzon player Benito Lowe notched a brace on the evening.

Wythenshawe are in fine form this season and will be hoping to go one step further than the 2021/22 campaign, which saw the club progress to the second round of the FA Vase and finish third in the league.

The tie will be played the week commencing February 6, 2023.
