Dean Furman has set his sights on a mouth-watering showdown with a Premier League giant after firing Oldham Athletic into the second round of the FA Cup.

The Latics captain was on target as his side beat Burton Albion 3-1 at Boundary Park to set up a home clash with either Preston North End or Southend United.

Midfielder Furman is now hoping to guide Oldham into the third round where the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all enter the competition.

"I would love the chance to play against a Premier League club because that's what you want to do as a footballer," he said.
