Town reached this stage of the competition after defeating Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 in the first round, with Andrew Shinnie and James Collins grabbing the goals for the Town.
Bury were in tremendous form in their first-round tie, as they defeated Dover Athletic 5-0 at Gigg Lane.
The Shakers head into this game having suffered only one defeat since the beginning of October, drawing five and winning four, as they sit in fifth in Sky Bet League Two.
The Town have also only been defeated once in that time frame, but have won eight and drawn once in their league games.
THE GAFFER SAYS:
On Bury: "First and foremost we have got a really tough tie, because they're a very good side. They're in really good form. I would have preferred to draw someone from League Two to League One, not because I think it's an easier tie, it's just something different, otherwise it would have been like preparing for another league game. saying that, it is a very difficult tie away from home at a side that is in fantastic form, so we have got to prepare in the right way.
"They have got a real good structure about them, they're a really good footballing side as you would expect because the players they have there I don't think you could really play any other way. They have got a wonderful squad there to be fair, especially for the level, for the level above they have got a strong squad. So it will be a good footballing game, a real tough game for both teams and one that we are looking forward to."
On the side he will select: "We plan, we look ahead at the month, we've got a lot of games, so we have got to make sure that everyone is ready, everyone can play and get game time, but also that we are competitive in every game so that we try and win it. We wont be taking this tie lightly in anyway – if we made any kind of changes it would be for the right reasons only.
"But they're in good form at the minute, plus we have got a game on Wednesday which means that if I was just looking to give people game time, then I have the perfect opportunity on the Wednesday, so we will prepare as if it's a league game and then we will go from there."

WHO?
