**Spalding roll up as heavy favorites, but cup football's a minefield** — Hanley Town are massive underdogs here, though they'll fancy a shock if Spalding take their foot off the gas. 🔥

Spalding are in good nick: two wins in their last three, including a demolition job on Bishop's Stortford (5-0). Hanley, meanwhile, have just the one win to their name in this sample and precious little recent form to lean on — this is a steep ask.

Key storylines:

- **Spalding's attacking depth** will be crucial; they've shown they can put teams to the sword when clicking
- Hanley's defensive discipline will be tested all afternoon against a fluid Spalding side
- Cup replays aren't ideal for either — expect an attacking approach from Spalding to settle it in 90

Expected lineups:

- **Spalding United**: D. Wilks, A. Fox, B. Grant, C. Johnson, D. Jarvis, B. Cybulski, J. Roberts, S. Akanbi
- **Hanley Town**: L. Knight, C. Muirhead, J. Moult, J. Askey, C. Bentley, H. Barrett, C. Middleton, D. Ramsey

Prediction:

**Spalding United 2-0 Hanley Town** — Spalding should have too much quality and experience here. Hanley will scrap, but the hosts' attacking threat is just a level above. 👊
