Last updated : 14 December 2010 By westfield shrimper
Southend United will visit Chelmsford City in the fourth round of the Essex Senior Cup on Wednesday, January 5th, 2011.

The tie was originally due to have been played at the start of December but was also called off because of a frozen pitch at Melbourne Park.

The Clarets beat Witham Town in the last round 2-1 and reached one more FA Cup round than the Blues, losing away to Wycombe Wanderers in the second stage 3-1 in a tightly fought tie.
