The winner will face Championship side Coventry City in a game that has to be completed by December 11th, 2010.
Tickets for the Brentford match will be sold on the day and remain at; Adults - £3, Concessions - £1.
The club have confirmed that only the East Stand Green and Blacks section will be open for the match.
After a great run three seasons ago that took the Shrimpers Trust sponsored Southend youth team to the verge of the sixth round and a tie away to Manchester United, the last two competitions have seen them exit in the First Round proper.
2008/09 saw them lose to Brentford on penalties, and they will hope to gain revenge this time around, while last season they were unlucky to be drawn away to eventual Youth Alliance Champions Millwall, where they lost 3-1.
However, they've started with a good win this time around over the Hatters and you can read the report here:
