Emirates FA Cup fourth and final qualifying round action awaits Boston United on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 3.00pm).

The Pilgrims are aiming to make it into the first round draw for the first time as a non-league club since 1997 when they travel to Chorley's Victory Park at the weekend.

A place in Monday evening's televised draw is the reward for Saturday's winners.

With £12,500 prize money thrown into the equation too, the stakes are high as the Pilgrims meet their Vanarama National League North rivals for the second time so far this season.

United prevailed 2-0 when the sides met at The Jakemans Stadium in August, courtesy of Ashley Hemmings and Kabongo Tshimanga strikes.

The Magpies have shown a marked improvement since to climb into the final play-off position and have defeated Stalybridge Celtic and Ashton Athletic so far in the FA Cup.

Like the Pilgrims, Chorley have a home record of three wins, two draws and one defeat to date.

Saturday's match referee is Tom Parsons.

Should a replay be required, it will be staged at The Jakemans Stadium on Tuesday (October 17) at 7.45pm.

UNITED KIT WATCH: (All) Amber.
POSTCODE FOR SAT NAV: PR7 3DU.
BUSA COACH DEPARTURE: 9.45am.
