Preview - Alvechurch

Craig Singleton7 Dec - 11:58

Boston United enter the Isuzu FA Trophy on Saturday afternoon – with Alvechurch the third round visitors to the Jakemans Community Stadium.

The Pilgrims entertain Tim Flowers' Step 3 side (kick-off 3.00pm) as they attempt to take their first step on the 'road to Wembley' – a path they successfully navigated in 1984-1985.

Alvechurch were United's first opponents of that famous run – and Graham Coughlan's class of 2024 will be aiming for a positive result to make it five unbeaten on home turf.

National League Cup victories over Sunderland and Newcastle United have bookended four points from six against Dagenham & Redbridge and Braintree Town in the National League.

Martin Woods is unlikely to feature after tweaking a calf in midweek, although Coughlan is hopeful it is not a long-term injury.

Should the tie remain level after 90 minutes, the match will be decided by penalties.
