vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Rylands go into this FA Cup second qualifying round tie, a straight knockout fixture with no league table involved, on the back of three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five: the 1-1 home draw with Stockton Town follows a 3-1 home win over Hyde United, preceded by a 3-1 home win over Bamber Bridge, a 2-1 away win at Alfreton Town and, further back, a 2-3 defeat at Workington. Chorley have one win, two draws and two defeats: the 0-2 defeat at King's Lynn Town follows a 5-2 home win over Darlington 1883, preceded by a 0-4 defeat at Oxford City, a 2-2 draw with Brackley Town and, further back, a 1-1 away draw at Merthyr Town. The only known meeting between the sides dates back to 2024, when Chorley won 3-2 on the opposite ground to Sunday's fixture. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
