**Worksop are absolutely rolling, and FC United need to fancy their chances against a side that's been rattling them in lately.** Two teams with completely different vibes colliding in the Cup. 🔥
Worksop have won four of their last five with some seriously impressive scorelines — 5-2 and 3-1 wins show they're clinical on their day. FC United have the firepower (5-1 demolition job vs Garforth), but that 0-2 loss to Macclesfield is a red flag. This is a mismatch in momentum.
Key storylines:
- **Worksop's attacking trio** of J. Abudu, J. Burrow, and K. Harratt have been devastating in recent weeks and should test FC United's backline hard
- **FC United's vulnerability on the road** — three losses in five matches shows they can be caught cold away from home
- **Set-piece battle** — both sides rely on defensive solidity, so corners and free-kicks could be the deciding factor
Expected lineups:
- **Worksop Town FC**: J. Render, A. Boyce, B. Gooda, D. Atherton, B. Tomlinson, A. Starcenko, C. Whitman-Brown, B. Hatton, J. Abudu, J. Burrow, K. Harratt
- **FC United of Manchester**: D. Atherton, M. Donohue, C. Jones, A. Morris, J. White, P. Ennis, J. Simpson, A. Atkinson, J. Harris, A. Wisdom, D. Cockerline
Prediction:
**Worksop Town 2–1 FC United** — Worksop's form is too hot to ignore, and they've got the edge at home. 💪
