The Minstermen aim to pull off an Emirates FA Cup upset in the first round proper with a trip to League One Shrewsbury Town tomorrow afternoon.
A 2-1 Fourth Qualifying Round victory over Step 5 side Bury AFC saw York City progress into the first round for the second consecutive season and we were rewarded with a trip to the Montgomery Waters Meadow.
The Shrews, who sit 14th in League One, enter the Emirates FA Cup in this round. Their last outing in the competition was a 4-1 third round defeat last eason at Anfield after wins against Stratford Town and Carlisle United earned them a meeting with Liverpool FC in the 2021/22 Emirates FA Cup.
‘Salop’ have a good recent record in the competition, making at least the third round stage in all of the last five years, going as far as fourth round replays against Premier League opposition twice.
However, City also have a rich history in the Emirates FA Cup which they will hope to invoke against a side who are winless in four in all competitions.
