City play host to Aldershot Town at the LNER Community Stadium this weekend, with kick-off set for 3:00pm.
City can make it six wins in a row if they secure another three points against a struggling Aldershot side who sit second to bottom in the National League.
The Minstermen battled hard last weekend to earn a valuable three points away to Brackley Town. Greg Olley, Josh Stones and Ollie Pearce with the three goals for City.
Meanwhile, Aldershot saw a seventh straight defeat last weekend following a 2-1 loss at home to Woking.
The last time these two sides faced was in April earlier this year when an emphatic City performance warranted a 7-2 victory at the LNER.
