Back home this weekend, York City return to the LNER Community Stadium this Saturday as they host FC Halifax Town in the Yorkshire derby (3pm kick off).
The Minstermen had a mix of emotions last week with victory over Ebbsfleet United on the weekend before losing at Barnet the following Tuesday.
City currently sit in 2nd in the Vanarama National League, just ahead of Forest Green Rovers but behind Barnet who currently hold the top spot.
Our opponents Halifax are currently placed in 7th in the National League, inside the play-offs with a ray of confidence having the second-best away record in the entire division.
The last time these two sides met was back in October when the Minstermen won in the most dramatic fashion. Two goals in stoppage time at the end of the game to snatch all the points away from the Shaymen.
