The sides replay at Home Park on Tuesday after the 0-0 draw but the winners will be shown live in round two, at either Rochdale or Notts County on December 5. The game will again kick off at 12.15pm.

The Owls are due to receive £67,500 for being shown in round one, and £72,000 for a second-round tie. Victory on Tuesday will earn £40,000 in prize money, with £54,000 available in round two.

Buxton's reward for knocking out York City is a live BBC game at home to Morecambe the previous lunchtime.
