The match was originally due to be played on November 28 but was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Halifax, who won the competition in 2013, come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Wealdstone on Saturday and it is thought that several members of the Town first-team squad will feature in the match.

When asked about what kind of team he would be fielding after Saturday’s game, Halifax boss Chris Millington told the Courier: "I had an idea coming into the game but I'm so angry at the way we've submitted the first quarter of the game to the opposition and given ourselves a mountain to climb, that I need to calm down before I start making any decisions about Tuesday."

Harrogate are 12th in the Northern Counties East League Division One table and lost 3-0 at Horbury Town on Saturday.

The tie will go straight to penalties if it’s a draw after 90 minutes. The winners of the game will face Knaresborough Town in the quarter-finals.
