City host Morecambe FC at the LNER Community Stadium tomorrow afternoon with kick-off set at 3:03pm.

York can make it eight unbeaten in the league if they avoid defeat against a Morecambe side who sit second to bottom in the National League.

The Minstermen produced an impressive 4-1 victory in mid-week over promotion-chasing Rochdale at the LNER.

Morecambe did secure a point at home in their last game over Sutton United in a 2-2 draw.

The last time these two sides faced was in 2016, where both teams played out a 1-1 draw in League Two in Morecambe.
