It is one of several games selected for live coverage across the weekend of November 6 to 9 and will broadcast live with a 2.30pm kick-off (on Sunday, November 8).

That will actually be something of a relief to Borough, for without the £32,500 broadcast fee per club that will be generated, they could have ended up making a loss on the big occasion.

Below is a full list of the fixtures to be shown...
