**Both sides are absolutely rolling into this FA Cup fourth-round clash** — Bury and Harrogate both unbeaten in their last five, with the Shakers in particular looking downright scary. 🔥
Bury's recent form is genuinely brutal: an 8-0 demolition of Wythenshawe, a 5-1 hammering of Workington. They're not just winning, they're obliterating. Harrogate's been solid and clinical (three 1-0s in their run), but it's a different tempo here.
Key storylines:
- **M. Touray and D. Pedro** spearheading Bury's attack with those ruthless performances still fresh
- **Harrogate's defensive shape** with **E. Bristow, A. Baptiste, W. Burrell** needing to weather the storm
- Can **Bury's 3-4-3** overwhelm Harrogate's 3-4-2-1 wing play, or will **B. Hobson and B. Dolaghan** keep things compact?
Expected lineups:
- **Bury FC**: M. Allen, B. Sloane, G. Glendon, O. Threlkeld, O. Robinson, L. Graham, D. Pedro, M. Touray, T. Carr
- **Harrogate Town**: M. Oxley, E. Bristow, A. Baptiste, W. Burrell, L. Cass, M. Williams
Prediction:
**Bury 3-1 Harrogate.** Shakers' offensive momentum is just too hot right now; they should find the breakthrough.
