The showdown kicks-off at 7.30pm tonight and the English FA confirmed it will be available to watch via BBC iPlayer. Fans can also tune in via Red button one & Red button HD from 7.20pm on the TV. Speaking ahead of the game, Brown said: “It’s an exceptional game to look forward to; first time in the fifth round against the Championship leaders that play unbelievable football possession-based football consistently.
“They always have high intensity and look to lock you in. It’s going to be a different challenge, but the lads have got to go out there and enjoy it because it’s phenomenal what they’ve done so far this season in this competition and beyond.
“For us, we’ve just got to go and enjoy the moment, and play as well as we can.
“Vincent has got them working so hard; the big thing for me is that they flow together, as you watch them. They lock teams in, start moves from the back.
“We went away to Ipswich and started poorly in the first 10 minutes of the game, but then we completed very well.
"For us to go and put up a draw against this team that held Burnley at their place and forced them into a close game at Turf Moor as well, we’ve got to take a lot from that.”
