City host Wealdstone FC tomorrow afternoon at the LNER Community Stadium (3pm kick-off).

York can make it three wins on the spin following last weekend’s last-gasp victory at Rochdale in the Emirates FA Cup.

That win teeing up a Yorkshire derby in the first round away to Barnsley FC.

Wealdstone also advanced into the first through following a 5-1 victory over Whistable Town.

The last time these two sides faced was in late March when goals from Fagan-Walcott, Stones and Pearce cruised City to a 3-0 win.
