City host promotion rivals Forest Green Rovers at the LNER this weekend, with kick-off in Yorkshire set for 3:00pm in the Enterprise National League.
The Minstermen will be looking to add more points to the board after last weekend’s impressive 2-0 victory at Solihull Moors, which saw two second-half goals from Alex Hunt and Alex Newby secure the three points for City.
Forest Green beat Woking in mid-week in an emphatic scoreline, defeating the Cards by 4 goals to 2. This is despite going behind twice in the first half at the New Lawn.
These two sides last faced in September when two first-half goals from both sides ensured the points would be shared.
