The LNER Community Stadium plays host to the National League Play-Off Semi-Final tomorrow evening with Oldham Athletic making the trip to Yorkshire (19:45 kick-off).

City head into this game eight unbeaten following our 2-0 win away at Eastleigh. Two early goals from Ollie Pearce and Cam John secured a comfortable win on the South coast.

This win rounded off an excellent season for the Minstermen, finishing second with 96 points in total.

Oldham come into this game under very different circumstances after already registering a play-off game last week.

The Latics thrashed local rivals Halifax to set up tomorrow’s fixture with three goals in the opening 12 minutes all but securing the win. Garner, Kitching and Fondop all with the early goals. Pritchard added a fourth in the second half as Halifax were unable to fight back towards the end.
