The game will be played at Crawley Town’s The People’s Pension Stadium, which holds just over 6,000 spectators. In stark contrast, Carrow Road, the Norfolk side’s stadium, holds just over 27,000.
The Red Devils beat fellow League Two side Walsall 3-2 in the opening round of the Carabao Cup to set up a tie with the Premier League newcomers.
Meanwhile, Norwich City endured a nightmare start to their season in the top flight as they were beat 4-1 away to European champions Liverpool.
Fans weren’t too hopeful of securing tickets to the fixture and took to Twitter to voice their disappointment at the draw.
Here is a selection of tweets from Norwich City fans following the draw:

I’ve had the misfortune of going to the Creepies ( as in Creepy Crawley) ground and it is very basic. Standing terrace behind a goal and the away capacity is not that great. What can possibly go wrong?
