Kevin Keen says Colchester United's forthcoming FA Cup tie against Premier League opposition is a big reward for the club - regardless of who they play.
The U's will find out their fourth-round opponents tonight, with the winners of the third-round replay between Leicester City and Spurs at the King Power Stadium travelling to the Weston Homes Community Stadium, on January 30.
The fourth-round tie will be screened live on BT Sport and boss Keen says it is something to look forward to, no matter who they play.
Keen said: “I don’t really have any preference as to who we play.
“You’re looking at two really exciting, entertaining, young, hungry Premier League sides.
“Leicester are flying at the moment and had a fantastic result at Tottenham on Wednesday night.
“Tottenham, though, are the more glamorous, southern, London team.
“Whoever we play, I really don’t mind.
“To get a home tie against high-flying Premier League opposition, whoever we play, is a big reward.
“I’m very pleased for everyone who’s worked hard here, especially the owner.
“It’ll be a good day for the community, the town and all the supporters."
