BREWERS TO PLAY GRIMSBY AWAY IN FA CUP THIRD ROUND

28 November 2022

BURTON Albion will play Grimsby Town away in the Third Round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The Brewers beat Chippenham Town 6-1 yesterday to join the Premier League and Championship teams who enter at this stage.

The draw took place at Anfield with the Brewers having ball No 62 and being drawn away to the team currently placed 16th in League Two.

Dino Maamria said: "We obviously wanted a home draw against anybody but we didn't get that. But it's a game we are looking forward to and both us and Grimsby have a big chance to get into the Fourth Round and an even bigger tie so the stakes get even bigger.

"Grimsby have been doing really well in cup competitions, beating Cambridge and Plymouth in the FA Cup and knocking out Manchester City Under 21s in the Papa Johns Trophy. I know Paul Hurst very well and his players and I think it will be a brilliant Third Round cup tie for both clubs.

"I'm sure our fans will travel in numbers to make it feel like a home tie. They will have a full house and it's always a tough place to go but I know our fans will be magnificent and it will be an exciting day.

"We believe we can win and we will go there full of confidence."

The game will be played on the weekend of January 6-8 with the date and ticket details to be confirmed.
