FC UNITED will have an early opportunity to avenge their only defeat of the season after being drawn against Salford City in the second round of the FA Vase.

The breakaway club, who were chasing their 13th consecutive victory, failed to rewrite the record books when they went down 2-1 to their rivals last Tuesday night.

Now Salford stand in the way of Karl Marginson's side's hopes of reaching Wembley when they do battle on Saturday, November 18, in a game which is again likely to be switched to The Willows, the home of Salford City Reds, to cater for the widespread interest after last week's clash attracted a crowd of more than 4,000.
