After their 2-0 home win against Liverpool in the Fourth Round, Bradford Park Avenue will face their Lancashire cousins Manchester United in the Capital One Cup Quarter-Final.
United struggled to make their way through this far with an extra-time victory over Premier League strugglers Derby County.
However a comfortable 2-0 win at Horsfall Stadium saw Bradford through against Liverpool with goals from Luis Farina and Jack Hallahan.
'It's a good draw against a very talented side but I'm sure that we will be able to pull through and go further in the tournament.' said the Bradford PA manager Adam Chabukiani, who has just signed a new three year deal with his club.
It is unlikely that the tie will make it onto the television, with a London Derby taking place in the same round with Tottenham playing Chelsea at the New White Hart Lane.
Avenue lost to Man United earlier in October as they fell down to a Memphis Depay goal at Old Trafford - the venue for the later tie.
Manchester United invested heavily into their squad in the summer, purchasing two new players in the form of Benfica's Riechedly Bazoer for £35million and Atlético Madrid's Yannick Ferreira Carrasco for £11.5million.
However, so is the case for Bradford Park Avenue, who have also spent over £40million this summer reshaping the squad that had them promoted last season. They will be hoping the likes of Jack Grealish and Rémy Cabella would turn up for the Quarter-Final.
In other Bradford-related news, Avenue have formed an affiliation with Bosnian Premier League side Olimpic Sarajevo. It is the first international agreement that Bradford have had and have already sent summer signing Abbes Bouchouk out on loan to the Bosnian capital. Bradford will pay an annual fee of £50k until 2025.
