Who's playing?
Barrow v Chester FC – Vanarama National League
When and where?
Tuesday, October 6 (7.45pm) at Holker Street, Barrow-In-Furness
What has Steve Burr had to say about it?
The Blues boss said: “Barrow are up there and doing well the side they've got and the finances at their disposal.
“I think if you look at them and the likes of Bromley that come up, well backed financially, we know that going to Barrow is always a difficult place to go.
“I'm just delighted we got back to playing with the intensity of how I expect my sides to perform. We now need to take that into the game on Tuesday night.
“We know how difficult it's going to be but I'll put up with anything as long as I see that intensity week in, week out. You have always got to earn the right to win matches.”

Tell me about Barrow...
The Bluebirds returned to non-league football's top tier after a two-year absence at the end of last season when they secured the Conference North title.
Backed by wealthy Dallas-based businessman and lifelong Barrow fan Paul Casson, expectations have been heightened this season for the Bluebirds but they have endured a mixed start to the season that sees them lying in 17th place in the National League.
They have, however, a potent weapon up front in the shape of prolific striker Andy Cook. The former Grimsby Town forward netted 23 goals for the Cumbrian side last season in Conference North and has already netted eight times in 14 games so far this term.

What happened the last time the two sides met?
The Bluebirds progressed to round two of the FA Trophy on November 30, 2013, when they capitalised on an abject second-half showing to win 2-1 at Chester.
Gareth Seddon had given the Blues, who were struggling near the foot of the Conference Premier and had already been dumped out of the FA Cup, a third-minute lead but a second-half double from Marcus Carver saw the Bluebirds deservedly progress at the expense of Neil Young's Chester side.
However, the game did mark the debut of John Rooney, signed following his release from Bury.
What are the match odds (betway)?
Barrow 6/5, Draw 12/5, Chester 2/1
What is the weather expected to be like?
Outbreaks of showery rain, heavy at times, will continue this evening and tonight. The rain will become lighter from the west as the night progresses. Turning cooler and windy. Minimum temperature 11°C.
