We return to the LNER Community Stadium tomorrow afternoon as we face Wealdstone FC in the Vanarama National League. (3pm kick off).
The Minstermen have had a good week so far, beating play-off pushing Rochdale 4-0 in their own backyard with goals from Ollie Pearce, Lewis Richardson and Ryan Fallowfield sealing the points.
Despite this, City still sit 2nd in the Vanarama National League, ahead of Forest Green by five points but behind Barnet by eleven points.
Wealdstone currently sit in 19th, just two points above the relegation zone. They did, however, pick up two wins last week against Altrincham and Woking, but came back down to earth on Tuesday when they suffered a home defeat to Aldershot.
The last time these two sides met earlier this season, it was City who claimed a 2-0 win down in London.
