Burnley were 4-3 extra time winners last season at Old Trafford, a game that saw Jason Gilchrist score a hat trick following our opener from Cameron Howieson, and we have been given the opportunity to beat one of the favourites again in the same round.
The draw is still very much ifs and buts with both 1st and 2nd round games still to be played and ours is one of only thirteen definite ties.
It is expected the game will be played at Turf Moor and the tie must be played on or before Saturday 21st December.
