The Imps upset Championship side Ipswich Town following a third-round replay and then second tier promotion chasers Brighton ahead of beating Premier League Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor.
Lincoln's place in history is already secure after becoming the first non-league team since 1914 to reach the quarter-finals of the world's oldest knockout competition.
