Boston United will contest Emirates FA Cup action for the first time this season on Saturday afternoon with the visit of Peterborough Sports.

The Evo-Stik South Division One Central high-flyers, who are unbeaten in all competitions, will travel to The Jakemans Stadium following previous FA Cup victories over Stamford AFC (after a replay) and Basildon United.

Jimmy Dean's side contains a host of ex-Pilgrims, with Mitch Griffiths, Richard Jones, Dan Lawlor, Lewis Hilliard and Mark Jones all in line to feature for the Turbines.

United boss Craig Elliott will be without the services of winger Jay Rollins (adductor) but has reported no other definite absentees at this stage.

With goals in short supply over recent home matches, the likes of Adam Marriott, Jonny Margetts and Yusifu Ceesay could come into contention for starting roles.

There is £9,000 prize money up-for-grabs for Saturday's victors and a place in Monday's third qualifying round draw.

Saturday's match referee is James Bell, who last took charge of the Pilgrims on the opening day of the season against Guiseley.

Matchday updates for those not in attendance will be published on Twitter via @bostonunited — starting with team news at 2.15pm.
