Newport County manager Michael Flynn says he would like to be drawn against Liverpool after stunning Leicester to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Padraig Amond's 85th-minute penalty after Marc Albrighton had handled secured Newport's shock 2-1 victory, and saw Leicester become the highest-profile Premier League casualties on third-round weekend.
The Foxes had trailed from the 10th minute, Jamille Matt heading home Robbie Willmott's superb cross, and the Foxes passed up several opportunities to equalise before Rachid Ghezzal's strike eight minutes from time.
But after Amond's coolly-struck winner, Flynn set his sights on another big tie in the next round, with the draw on Monday night.
"I want Liverpool, home or away," he said. "The best thing for the football club is one of the big boys away.
"Realistically we're not going to win the FA Cup, so we need to make as much money as we can from it. That means Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea or Spurs away.
"It is the first time I have beaten a Premier League club and it was a real honour as all my friends, my wife and my family were here.
"We have put Newport County on the map. Leicester showed us a lot of respect today as well; they are a very respectful club.
"The atmosphere was electric, the fans sang their hearts out and they never stopped. They really get behind us.
"How the players can raise these levels is amazing. It has to be up there with the best win in our history."
Newport, 13th in Sky Bet League Two and 74 places below Leicester on the football pyramid, knocked out Leeds in the third round last season and held Tottenham at home before losing a Wembley replay.
But this was the first time the Welsh side had beaten top-flight opposition in the FA Cup since downing Sheffield Wednesday in 1964.
"How they can raise these levels is amazing," added Flynn. "It has to be up there with the best win in our history.
"The second half I felt quite comfortable. But once they got back to 1-1 you do worry, can you hang on?
"I said 'let's go for it' and we went and got that penalty. I've got so much respect for these players."
