Having recorded a 4-1 victory over Nottingham Forest to reach this stage, Michael Appleton's side will now head to St Mary's for a tie that will be played on the weekend of 27-30 January.

Due to Pool's continued participation in the tournament, the team's league fixture away to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday 28 January must now be rearranged.

Following Town's 2-1 win over Championship side, Queens Park Rangers, the fixture will be played at Hillsborough, on the same weekend.
