The National League North team produced arguably the greatest upset in the competition’s history when they defeated the south London club 2-1 at Moss Rose on Saturday.

John Rooney’s giant-killers are at home once again for their tie against Brentford, who currently sit in fifth in the Premier League.

Speaking after Saturday's tie, Rooney said: "We said before that we would have liked to get Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal, but another Premier League side is incredible."
