They have been drawn away to competition favourites Worcester City with the tie to be played on Saturday, March 9.
Worcester are 13/8 favourites to land the trophy at Wembley while Emley, who were second favourites ahead of the draw, are out to 5/1 and now joint second favourites with Romford and Falmouth.
Emley include three ex-Reds in their squad – Ruben Jerome, Iyrwah Gooden and Donae Lawrence – and reached this stage with a 2-0 win over Northern League Whickham on Saturday.
