'Massive'
Eastleigh boss Richard Hill admitted his disappointment that the lure of Manchester United potentially coming to his club meant the players taking their eye off the ball at the weekend.
Eastleigh lost 1-0 in the National League to Southend on Saturday.
But now they're one win away from the giants coming to town, Hill admits it could be a 'magical time' for the club.
He said: "Personally, the last week has been difficult because we forgot about Saturday's game against Southend United. I was disappointed that the whole club forgot about that game, but now we are coming into a magical time for the club.
"For us to win would be huge. A pre-season friendly against Manchester United would be massive - but it would also be massive for Newport. Let’s not forget that.
"Forget what it could lead to financially, I don’t know. but just to get Manchester United to the Silverlake would be massive.
"Manchester United coming to the Silverlake could never happen again."
How they fared last time
Of course, these sides recently met - hence the reason for tonight's replays.
And again, it's obvious that they all finished level, hence the replays.
Not too many goals, hopefully that changes tonight. How many of these finish 1-1 again?

- Bristol City 1 West Ham 1
- Eastleigh 1 Newport 1
