"It’s a good draw," said Martin. "It’s a tough game at a really good club. It’s a fairly local one too.
"It’ll be a tough game against a team that will want to be the story of the FA Cup. It’s a big chance for us to put in a performance and go into the hat for when the big boys come into the competition in round three."
