Pools will face Blackpool at the Suit Direct Stadium on the weekend of January 7-10 looking to claim a third scalp of the competition having already beaten two League One sides to reach this stage.
Pools booked their spot in the third round with a 1-0 win over Lincoln City on Saturday as Graeme Lee enjoyed a winning start to his tenure as Pools manager.
