FA CUP THIRD ROUND DRAW: Cobblers to meet old favourite after landing League One opposition
Keith Curle's side will travel to the Pirelli Stadium to take on the Brewers, managed by Nigel Clough, in the New Year.
Burton, currently 14th in Sky Bet League One having won at Sunderland last time out, snapped up O'Toole in the summer after he was released by Northampton at the end of last season.

Hide AdThe 31-year-old played almost 200 games for the Cobblers between 2014 and 2019 and was a key figure in their title success in 2015/16. He's featured 24 times for Burton this season.
Curle's men reached this stage of the competition with wins over non-league teams Chippenham Town and Notts County, while Burton beat Salford and Oldham.
Third round ties will take place over the weekend of January 3-6, which means Northampton's scheduled League Two clash at Leyton Orient on January 4 will be rearranged.
Tony Adams and Micah Richards conducted tonight's draw live on BBC TWO from the Etihad Stadium, home of holders and five-time champions Manchester City.

"We know men in particular can be reluctant to talk about the subject, so it is important we use football as a vehicle to stress the importance of mental fitness," FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said.
