Preview

Match preview

AFC Emley host Bishop Auckland in the FA Cup looking to snap a four-match winless run. Emley enter this fixture following a 4-0 home defeat against Guiseley AFC, having previously recorded three consecutive draws against Warrington Town, Redcar Athletic, and Ashton United.

Bishop Auckland travel with positive momentum from recent head-to-head encounters, having won the last two meetings between these two clubs. That run includes a 2-0 victory on this ground in October 2025 and a 2-1 victory in March 2026.

With Emley struggling to produce wins in recent weeks and Bishop Auckland demonstrating a solid track record in direct clashes, the visiting side looks well equipped to maintain competitiveness throughout the ninety minutes.
