Walsall, for their part, will be making the trip to Southampton after defeating Alfreton Town in a second round replay last night.

The Saddlers had previously seen off Sheppey United in the first round proper.

It will see the Shrimps looking to complete the league double over their hosts, having won 2-1 at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium on the first day of the season.
