FC Halifax Town v Maidenhead United LIVE

Martin Woods has been warming up on his own on the Shay pitch just now so pretty clear he won’t be involved today again

It’s cold and drizzly at the Shay at the moment. Not exactly feeling the magic of the cup at the moment. Sure that’ll change come 3pm though.

If Maidenhead win, it will be the first time they have reached the second round of the FA Cup since 1886.

There’ll be at least one change for Town this afternoon with Jamie Allen out through an ankle injury. Expect Jordan Slew, Elliot Newby or Harvey Gilmour to replace him. My bet is Newby but we’ll see. Other than that I would expect the same side that started at Bromley.

Since beating Halifax on the opening day of the season, Maidenhead have failed to win any of their subsequent five away games.

A reminder that the winners today (or on Tuesday if it’s a replay) will pocket £22,629 in prize money
