Perhaps a welcome break from league football as York City & Slough Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Slough Town 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 12-10-14 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
