Why should I watch..?

The incentive of pitting themselves against a club that operates three levels higher, in the form of National League North outfit North Ferriby United, will add something to an already-intriguing replay.

1874 have progressed after a second crack at each of their previous opponents in this season’s competition, which is already a record-setting FA Cup run.

Lloyd Morrison, Mossley’s co-manager, returns to a ground to which he will attach fond memories after steering Winsford United – 1874’s landlords – to fifth in the North West Counties League’s top-flight in 2013.

His side can take heart from twice taking the lead last Saturday, when they played for almost an hour with 10 men following Adam Latham’s first-half dismissal.

What they’ve said

“We really didn’t deserve to go out [on Saturday], and the character these players again showed was unbelievable.

“Mossley changed their shape in an attempt to counter what we were doing, and I think that’s a compliment from a side that plays at a higher-level.

“I think its 50-50 now who gets through. I don’t think the draw for the next round matters much; these lads just want to win.”

Wayne Goodison, 1874 Northwich co-manager

Numbers game

1874 Northwich have scored 42 goals during the first 20 games with Paul Bowyer and Wayne Goodison picking the team

Man to keep an eye on

Sam Hind

Was on target twice at the weekend, on both occasions scoring an equaliser.

All of his goals this season have been in FA Cup games, and he is playing with confidence in a role supporting leading-scorer Scott McGowan in attack.

1874 team news

Lee Jackson came through Saturday’s first meeting without a problem upon his return from an injury, and is should keep his place at left-back.

Paul Connor (neck) is ok too.

Mark Jones (foot), Danny Thomas and Joe Woolley (both knee) are still ruled out, while Ryan Jackson has started a rehabilitation programme after an operation.
