The Saints' match at Prenton Park will kick-off the second-round weekend and will be played on Friday, November 27 with a 7.55pm kick-off.

Brackley, like every other club selected for live coverage, will receive the FA live broadcast fee of £37,500 as a result of their tie being selected.

Kevin Wilkin's Vanarama National League North side reached the second round for the third time in their history after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Bishop's Stortford after the two teams had drawn 3-3 at St James Park last weekend.

If they are victorious against Tranmere, they will take their place alongside the Premier League giants in the third round proper for the first time in their history.
