The draw is due to take place at 5.30pm on Saturday, 5 mins before City kick off their live game against Tranmere. Saturday is the day the last qualifying round is played so the draw takes place and the non leaguers join the division 2 and 3 teams on the road to Cardiff.

Lennie Lawrence does not want his players to know who City have been drawn against. He wants them focussed on nothing but the Tranmere game. Even more important after the defeat at Blackpool.

"I don't want any announcement because every player should be concentrating on the job in hand and thats beating Tranmere. Of course people in the crowd will know the draw and maybe they will be chanting about that, but we can't control that. I want the players to go out completely focussed on Tranmere."

The Tranmere game is being shown live on Sky Sports Extra, extended highlights are on Sky Sports 1 at midnight.
