North End travelled to Championship side, Nottingham Forest on Friday night where they met with former boss Billy Davies. The visitors held the home side to a goalless draw but had the better opportunities to win the game.
The game was watched by a crowd of over 25,000 swelled by the low ticket prices including over 2,000 travelling fans. It is likely that the replay will take place on Tuesday 11 February with ticket prices set to be the same at £10.
It is not clear whether the game will bebroadcast on television at the moment. The only other replay is Fulham v Sheffield United who will meet either Forest or Preston in the next round. If may well be that both games are televised.
