In this round of the FA Cup, Fylde host Atherton Collieries, and both teams have reached this point with very different cup form. Fylde have just won 2-0 in the league in their latest match, while Atherton Collieries have just won 3-0 in the cup. Fylde are in the National League and their own league record is 7 wins from 13 matches, scoring 24 and conceding 18, while Atherton Collieries are in Northern League Division One and their league form is clearly tougher, because in their last five matches they have both a 1-6 defeat and a 1-2 defeat mixed in. But in the cup they are still unbeaten in two straight matches, with their latest a 3-0 win. This game is likely to play out with Fylde dominating the ball and pushing high from the start, because in their last ten matches the hosts have averaged 57.8% possession per game, while Atherton Collieries will have to deal with more sustained attacking moves. What to watch is how quickly Fylde can break down a deep-lying defence, because if the first goal comes late, the game could drag on longer than expected.
