HEREFORD United have been handed a home tie in the quarter-finals of the FA Umbro Trophy -- providing they win tonight's fifth round replay with Morecambe at Edgar Street (7.45).
The winners will face Dr Martens League Premier Division leaders Burton Albion, managed by ex-Nottingham Forest star Nigel Clough, on Saturday, March 10.
But it will be a tough tie for the winners, as Burton have knocked out two Conference sides -- Scarborough and Yeovil Town -- to reach this stage.
United's Director of Football Graham Turner said: "First of all we have to get Morecambe out of the way, and we are taking nothing for granted.
"But in the event that we get through, it is a home draw against a side from a lower league, albeit a very good one with some decent players. They have beaten two Conference sides and that indicates the depth of their squad."
