Harriers host the Latics at Aggborough on Saturday with a non-league banana skin awaiting the visitors, who were founder members of the Premier League.

Paul Dickov's now operate in the third-tier of English football and are 17th in their division, but will be still be fancied to win the first round tie.

Burr has a history of causing upsets in the competition - his Nuneaton side put out Stoke in 2000 while he also took Northwich to the third round.

His side are set to be unchanged from a 1-1 draw with Gateshead last weekend, having beaten league rivals Grimsby 4-2 in the last phase.

He said: "The FA Cup is a great competition to be involved in and we haven't had much success in it since I have been here.

"The last tie against Grimsby was always going to be a tough one, but we got through that well.

"We have got a nice game to look forward to with Oldham coming to Aggborough and we are all looking forward to it.

"It's something good for the supporters to look forward to and, hopefully, we can cause an upset."
