The draw is also being covered live on Radio 5Live, the BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app and BT Sport. Burton, who were a non-league side managed by Nigel Clough, won that tie in 2005 1-0 in a replay after a 0-0 draw at London Road against Mark Wright’s Posh.

The 32 Non-League clubs that have made it through qualifying will be joined by 48 League One and Two clubs for tonight’s draw.

Aldershot Town will host them at the Emirates FA Cup over the weekend of Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November.

The Seasiders, whose relegation to the third tier means they enter the competition at this stage for the first time since 2006, will be ball number five and manager Neil McDonald said: “A home draw will be ideal”.
