The tie sees basement side Telford host mid-table Chester, as both teams aim to better last year's misery of being knocked out at this early stage.
AFC's predecessors Telford United are steeped in history in the competition with their three triumphs in the cup, while they still hold the record for the most FA Trophy Final appearances with five.

And since their formation back in 2004, AFC Telford have reached the Semi-Finals once back in 2009 when they lost 4-1 on aggregate to runners-up York City.
The visitors have been on a similar path since Chester City dissolved in 2010. The new supporter-owned club escaped relegation last term following three back-to-back promotions, but sit much more comfortably this season.
But Chester's best run in the past four years is only the Second Round, so manager Steve Burr has the opportunity to stamp some ground for his ever-developing side in the competition.
Telford boss Liam Watson is taking The FA Trophy extremely seriously and feels a run in the competition can only benefit his players.
"It would give us some breathing space from the league games and in reality it'll make it a lot easier," said Watson.
"There's an easier game than Chester we could have had, but it should be a good match."
The AFC manager is refusing to dwell on any history of Telford United and is instead focusing on his current crop who he believes can take heart from their recent FA Cup performance at Bristol City.
"Their 'keeper got man-of-the-match and we lost in the last minute to a scrappy goal," added Watson. "It's a shame the game is so quickly after The FA Cup, looking at the freshness of the players for Chester.
"It'll be difficult to emulate the Semi-Finals in 2009 but we want to improve on last year. The 2-0 defeat at Chester was down to two goalkeeping errors so we're hoping that won't happen again."
The 44-year-old admitted it's one of the most testing spells he's faced as manager but knows that a Trophy run with the added financial bonuses would be a welcome positive.
"Clubs like Telford need as much money as they can bring in from competitions," he admitted.
