National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Atherton Collieries or City of Liverpool that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Collieries saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Non League Premier: Northern. That game was an away game at Stafford Rangers, so at least Collieries are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's quite the trip for City of Liverpool when visiting Collieries as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Atherton Collieries form and stats
Last season, Collieries's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 1st round replays.Atherton Collieries have collected 7 points from their Non League Premier: Northern home games so far after 2-1-1.
Atherton Collieries enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Stafford Rangers's place. The match ended 3-0. A Non League Premier: Northern defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Witton Albion.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Non League Premier: Northern game versus Matlock Town in only three days. This game is also played here at The Skuna Stadium.
A decent goal production from Collieries in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. Collieries are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Skuna Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
City of Liverpool form and stats
Liverpool was sent out of Fa Trophy in the extra preliminary round replays last season.Liverpool lost away at Colne (2-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Colne was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
After this away game Liverpool return home for a Non League Div One: Northern North game against Ramsbottom United. That game is only three sleeps after this.
