The pair have met just once in the domestic cup competition with the Clarets progressing 3-2 on aggregate during the 1994/95 season. Warren Joyce had given the Clarets a 1-0 advantage after the first leg at Turf Moor while goals from Liam Robinson and John Gayle secured a 2-2 draw in the return fixture.
Most Claret fans will remember Bootham Crescent for the pulsating atmosphere on Tuesday, April 28th, 1992, as the Clarets sealed the Fourth Division title.
