The victors of the first-round tie wil go on to play host to either Doncaster Rovers or Accrington Stanley at the start of December.

Salford are hoping they can avoid a repeat of last year’s FA Cup campaign when they were knocked out in the first round by Peterborough following a 3-0 defeat in the replay.

The Ammies established a 2-1 lead following a Stephen Mallan strike and a Nicholas Bilokapic own goal, but Emmanuel Fernandez scored in the 93rd minute to send the tie back to the Peninsula Stadium.

The result extended Salford’s unbeaten run to five competitive matches, but that was swiftly brough to an end on Saturday as the suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat in their home encounter with Mansfield Town in League Two.

Having conceded at least two goals in each of their last five home matches, the Ammies will nee to tighten up defensively if they are to reach the FA Cup second round for the fourth time in their history.

After enjoying a nine-game unbeaten run across all competitions, Peterborough would have been disappointed to see their fins spell of form come to an end with a defeat to Wigan Athletic in League One.

However, Peterborough bounced back in the best possible way, claiming a dominant 5-0 victory over rivals Cambridge United in Saturday’s derby encounter.

Braces for Ephron Mason-Clark and Kwame Poku in addition to a Liam Bennett own goal enabled the Posh to claim derby bragging rights.

That impressive result did extend their unbeaten home run to nine competitive matches, but the League One side will now head on their travels for Tuesday’s encounter with Salford City.

Having won two of their last three away matches, Peterborough may fancy their chances of beating Salford in the FA Cup first round for the second straight season.
