Both teams enter the fray at this stage, and Brackley will have to be at their best to get past a Bulls side that is currently top of the table.

Hereford are currently two points clear at the helm, while Brackley are struggling at the other end of the table, sitting fifth from bottom and just two points above the drop zone.

In their six home league games this season so far, Hereford have won four and drawn one, and on Saturday they secured a 2-1 win at morning leaders Macclesfield to go top.

The two sides have yet to meet in the league this season, but will square up at St James' Park 10 days after the Trophy clash (Nov 24)

Brackley were FA Trophy winners in 2018, while Hereford were runners-up in 2021.
