**Leiston and Grays Athletic are about to run it back in the FA Cup after their recent league deadlock — except this time, one of them's getting knocked out.** 🎭 Neither side will want a replay on their fixture list.

Leiston arrive with **better recent form**, posting 2W-2D-1L over their last five. Grays, meanwhile, are limping in at 1W-1D-3L and looking vulnerable after getting hammered 0-4 at home by Daventry Town. The 0-0 stalemate between them just weeks ago feels like a distant memory now.

Key storylines:

- **Leiston's attacking rhythm** has clicked since that goalless draw — they've scored in 4 of their last 5 outings
- **Grays' defensive fragility** is the elephant in the room after shipping four unanswered goals to Daventry
- Replay risk looms large; a second draw would be a headache neither wants

Expected lineups:

- **Leiston**: Soule, Ingram, Knoyle, Garnham, Chappell, Avis, Stansfield, Crome
- **Grays Athletic**: Pratley, Charles, Akinyemi, Wilkins, Wilkinson, Bragoli, Romain, Medley

Prediction:

**Leiston 2-0 Grays Athletic**

Leiston have the form and momentum to bury a rattled Grays side in open play. 🔥
