Kyle Letheren was the hero in the penalty shootout win against Brackley in the last round.

The fourth round tie at the newly-opened Jakemans Community Stadium will now take place on January 20 (7.45pm KO).

It had been due to take place this Saturday (January 16) but has been rescheduled because Chesterfield’s players and management team are isolating following positive Covid tests within the camp, which meant last Saturday’s fixture at Bromley was called off.

They are due back in training early next week ahead of the cup game against the National League North club.

Town booked their place in the fourth round by beating Brackley Town, also of the National League North, on penalties following a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.

The Pilgrims are currently sixth in the division below with just two defeats from 13 games.

The winners of the tie will receive £5,200 in prize money, while the losers will get £1,500.
