Nantwich prepare for maiden home FA Cup first-round clash against Fylde

Nantwich prepare for their maiden home FA Cup first-round clash with a fully-fit squad to choose from as they host National League team AFC Fylde.

The Dabbers reached the first round proper for only the third time in their history when they defeated National League North side King’s Lynn in the last qualifying round.

Nantwich academy product Troy Bourne scored the only goal in that game but is unlikely to start against the Coasters after Joe Malkin scored a brace in a 3-3 draw at Whitby Town on Saturday, which moved him up to second in the Northern Premier Division’s top goalscorers list on nine.

Midfielder David Webb also scored his first goal for the club in the entertaining league draw and will retain his place in the starting line-up.

Jim Bentley is set to name an unchanged team for the third-successive match since taking over as AFC Fylde boss last month.

Bentley, who left Morecambe after a 17-year association with the club to join the Coasters, is still searching for his first win as Fylde manager at the third attempt.

Winger Matty Kosylo will enjoy a return to the club which kick-started his career before moving up the leagues to Halifax and, more recently, AFC Fylde this summer.

The only doubt for Bentley is left-back Andy Taylor, who came off with three minutes remaining of the goalless draw against Dover, but he should be fit to start at Nantwich.
