We look ahead to tonight's big FA Cup game
We look ahead to tonight's rescheduled FA Cup with Budweiser Second Round replay against Accrington Stanley (7.45pm).
The prize of a Third Round home tie against Sheffield United awaits the winner in a game that could go all the way to penalties.
Team News
United have no new injury worries after the draw at Morecambe on Saturday.
Michael Duberry will hope to be involved for the first time this season after making his return to full training and featuring in a practice game last week.
Simon Heslop will sit out the second game of his three match ban after his red card against Aldershot.
Jake Forster-Caskey is ineligible but Lee Cox can play under the terms of his loan.
Boss Chris Wilder told us:
"It's a big game for us. I thought the first match was real end to end stuff and we did well in difficult circumstances. We will prepare properly as we always do. Both sides now know what the opposition are all about and it will be a tough game."
See Chris previewing the game in the fantastic Preview Show in Yellow Player now.
The Opposition
Veteran striker James Beattie could return from injury and goalkeeper Paul Rachubka has extended his week-to-week loan deal from Leeds and is available.
Stanley come into the game on the back of a home defeat against Wycombe at the weekend, but their away form under Leam Richardson has been strong with just one defeat, at Burton Albion, since the new manager took over.
Leam said: "I was disappointed with the performance on Saturday. It was a game we expected to win and win comfortably.
"We want a reaction from the players and we think we'll get it. You feel like you're repeating yourself a bit because this is the third time the game has come around but it's a hugely important game for the club and if we can get through it'll be fantastic."
