Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson: ‘It helps us that Chorley have already beaten Wigan. My players know what will happen if we are not at our best.’

All eyes will be on the National League North strugglers as they seek a second successive League One scalp in a second round tie at the Weston Homes Stadium (November 28, 5.30pm).

BT Sports are broadcasting the match live to see if Chorley can back up their 3-2 first round win at Wigan Athletic.

But Ferguson said: “Every season when you start the FA Cup reaching the third round is the aim. This season is no different.

“There might not be a big crowd to watch a big game in the third round this season, but there is prize money to be won and every little bit helps the club this season.

“The incentive remains high for us. It’s also good for the club that we are on the television as there is income from that, but we know why the cameras are here and we must make sure we don’t give them what they want.

“It’s a banana skin of a game for us. I have watched Chorley’s win at Wigan and they were very good, particularly on the counter attack. I know Wigan went down to 10 men, but coming back from 2-0 down against a League One club to win is a great performance so we will have to give them full respect.

“It helps us that Chorley have already beaten Wigan. My players know what will happen if we are not at our best. We will need to move the ball quickly and repeat the levels we reached against Plymouth on Tuesday.”

Ferguson intends to field a strong side which might yet include top scorer Jonson Clarke-Harris who is nursing a sore ankle.

Teenage forward Flynn Clarke is expected to return to the squad after recivering from his hamstring issue, but defender Nathan Thompson is being held back for the League One trip to AFC Wimbledon next week.

The winners tomorrow bank £34k in prize money with £37k guaranteed to each club from BT Sport.
