The Pilgrims have never made it beyond the third round stage — and Steve Welsh’s cup kings will have their work cut out against table-topping opposition.

Burnley currently top the western section of the Football League Youth Alliance and were 3-1 victors over Rotherham United in the Youth Alliance Cup at Gawthorpe on Saturday morning.

The Football League side have five youth internationals in their squad — including two Scots, two Irishmen and one New Zealander.

The Pilgrims have won six matches to book their big date with the Clarets. United’s cup run started on September 7 and has included victories against Lincoln United, Mickleover Sports, Pinxton, Stourport Swifts, Burton Albion and Bradford City, with the Pilgrims scoring 20 goals in the process.

Steve Welsh has a full squad to choose from for the Burnley clash — and is likely to keep faith with the side which defeated Bradford in the second round.

The Jakemans Stadium — with the exception of The Jakemans (Town End) Stand — is open for spectators from 6.15pm ahead of the 7.00pm kick-off.

The match, which has been kindly sponsored by Richard Maxwell and Guests, will be decided by extra-time and penalties if necessary.

United (from): Hipwell, Macann, Beauchamp, Briers, Delahoy, Devlin, Langan, Lote, Marr, Nuttell, Platten, Price, Reed, Rossington, Sanders, Sturman, Towell, Tricks, Whitaker.
