The two sides drew 2-2 in their first meeting on Saturday, when Matty Kosylo’s equaliser kept Town in the competition after goals from Ben Garrity and Tony Gray had cancelled out Nathan Clarke’s early opener.

Town boss Jamie Fullarton said after the game on Saturday that he didn’t expect to have any of his injured players back for the replay, while striker Kyle Wootton wasn’t given permission to play in the competition by parent club Scunthorpe.
