Fleetwood Town were in action against Oxford United this past weekend, sharing the points after a 1-1 draw, despite the fact that Carlos Mendes Gomes scored in the second minute of the game.
That marked the third game in a row that Scott Brown’s men have gone without a defeat, bringing them into this FA Cup weekend with plenty of momentum behind them.
The Cod Army have managed to progress to the next round in all of their previous nine FA Cup games against non-league teams, a run they will want to continue on Saturday.
However, last season Fleetwood were knocked out by Burton Albion at this stage of the competition, with the club now looking to make an improvement on their previous effort.
The FA Cup distraction could be welcome by the Cod Army considering they are 20th in the League One table at the moment, being involved in an early relegation fight.
The same cannot be said for the visitors as Oxford City are eighth in the National League North table, with the club pushing up to be part of the promotion campaign this season.
The visitors have only reached the second round of the competition four times throughout its history, which showcases what a landmark victory this could be for the club.
