Oldham v Doncaster: FA Cup preview

OLDHAM Athletic host Doncaster Rovers in the second round of the FA Cup on Saturday and manager Lee Johnson has already set his sights on a dream Premier League clash in the next round.

Latics take on their League One counterparts at SportsDirect.com Park knowing victory would see them reach the third round of the competition for the fourth straight year.

The club has enjoyed some glamour ties in recent times, taking on Liverpool and Everton both home and away.

With that in mind, Johnson is hopeful that his team can overcome Doncaster and secure another lucrative game in round three.

I think the FA Cup has still got that romance in England so its really important for clubs like us, he said.

We had the fantastic trip to Anfield last year which was great for me on a personal level.

Being able to feel the atmosphere and the pressure of Premier League games was great for the players.

We have an important match against Doncaster first, though, which will be really tough.

They have got some excellent players like Richie Wellens and James Coppinger so we are under no illusions.

Its going to be a hard game and it will be Paul Dickovs first match back at the club too so theres a story to the fixture.
