Venue: Meadow Lane Stadium (19841 seats)

National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Notts County or Maidstone United that keep their silverware dream alive.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Maidstone United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-6-15 (win-draw-loss) from 33 matches.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
