BURNLEY insist they have no fear about being thrown into FA Cup battle in the Lions' Den.
The Clarets will travel to First Division rivals Millwall in the fifth round on Saturday after Dennis Wise's team finally saw off Conference minnows Telford 2-0 last night.
But Stan Ternent feels his side are more than capable of keeping their own cup dreams alive and earning a place in the quarter-finals for the second successive year.
Ternent said: "The result was what I expected, so in that sense I was not disappointed. Millwall put in a thoroughly professional performance at Telford and were never in danger really.
"We know it will be a hard game down there, but we have a good record at Millwall in recent years, so we certainly have nothing to fear.
"They are a good side, but so are we and either of two results would do us. Obviously I would like to win, but I would be more than happy with a replay. They need the one result and that puts a little bit more pressure on them."
Clarets winger Glen Little added: "We have always known we're capable of beating whoever got through, which is why it turned out to be a good draw for us.
"We have a chance but Millwall will feel the same. We would have liked to have been at home and they will look at us and think it's also a great chance.
"But in the cups we've had some tough ties away from home and come through them this season, so we're just going to get on with it.
"You know what you're in for when you're up against Millwall on their own ground. But it will be strange for them because they have come through one cup game last night and almost straight away they have another one.
"We, on the other hand, have known we're in the draw - even if all the mucking about has meant we didn't know when we'd be playing - and have learned to accept, whoever got through, to get on with it."
The Lions secured their place in the last 16 through goals in each half by Paul Ifill and player-boss Wise.
The Clarets shared the honours with the Lions in their first meeting this season, when the two sides drew 1-1 at Turf Moor in October's First Division clash.
But both sides will soon know each others strengths and weaknesses, as they are scheduled to meet again in the return league fixture at the New Den in just over two weeks time.
The Turf Moor ticket office will remain open until 7.30pm tonight to handle sales for Saturday's FA Cup match.
Season ticket holders (voucher FF), Foundation members and shareholders have priority and all remaining tickets will go on general sale from 9.15am tomorrow morning.
