**Neither of these minnows wants the Cup run to end here** — both are flying in their respective leagues and looking to make a proper dent in the FA Cup. 🏆

Kettering have won three of their last five with a couple of tight scorelines against Wellingborough showing they can grind it out. Worcester are matching that form, picking up wins at home and holding firm away. This could easily go to extra time.

Key storylines:

- **B. Brown** and **E. Panter** need to control the midfield battle for Kettering to unlock Worcester's defence
- **C. Dzialuk** in goal for Worcester has kept three clean sheets in recent matches — he'll be crucial given the attacking talent on both sides
- Home advantage at Kettering could be the difference in a tight, cagey cup tie

Expected lineups:

- **Kettering Town**: J. Alexander, B. Rowe, A. Powell, J. Newell, O. Jones, B. Brown, E. Panter, L. Coyle, L. D'Ath, W. York, M. Gyasi
- **Worcester City**: C. Dzialuk, A. Mace, A. Duerden, C. Wise, D. Idehen, C. Dinsley, I. Reid, L. Lockett, B. Smalley, C. Lutz, D. Sweeney

Prediction:

**1-1 after 90, Kettering to win on penalties.** Home ground and form give them a slight edge in a coin-flip cup encounter. 📍
