Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ashton United & York City face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting York City played their last game only three days ago, a Vanarama National League North match.
Ashton United form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Fa Trophy for Ashton, as the manager J. Banim led his troops to eliminate South Shields and Clitheroe, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Ashton's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 2nd round qualifying.Ashton United have played three Non League Premier: Northern home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ashton United with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bamber Bridge game, 70 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
B. Hardcastle was the last player to score a league goal for Ashton United and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Ashton haven't scored in 333 minutes.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Whitby Town (0-2).
There will be little rest for Ashton after this match as they are travelling to Warrington Town for a Non League Premier: Northern game in only four days.
Ashton United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Ashton are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
