It has been confirmed that the match will be broadcast live on BBC One, with supporters also able to keep up with the action via their digital streaming service BBC iPlayer.

Currently sitting 10th in the second tier, Ryan Lowe's team booked their place in the fourth round following a 4-2 win against basement boys Huddersfield Town. They recently confirmed the loan signing of Manchester City sensation Liam Delap in recent days.
