The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's FA Cup clash between Salford City and Chesterfield, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Salford City 2-1 Chesterfield

We are predicting Salford to show their extra quality provided by their higher-division advantage on Sunday, by recording a narrow victory over their National League opponents. Chesterfield are on a strong run of form themselves and will be sure to make it difficult for their hosts, but with their lengthy list of absentees to contend with as well, we believe they will fall just short here.
